I've been using Insomnia, but it seems they've enshittified. I started it up after an upgrade and found that Environments are now paywalled/behind an account. Is there a true open-source alternative to Postman/Insomnia anyone recommends?

They have a CLI as well as a Postman like desktop interface. One thing I prefer about their GUI over Postman is the way variables are defined/edited for multiple environments in a single view.

I could not find the license or source code for their desktop app. Is it even open source?
