Postman alternatives? (self.programming)

I would like to hear if any of you are using different app for API testing than Postman.

I’m not telling that Postman is bad, but maybe there’s all that I should check out. Recently I tried RapidApi and even tho the app is kinda cool I missed few options and went back to Postman for now.

Same for me, I'll notice my computer is a bit loud, realise I forgot to close postman and it's just sitting there, doing nothing, minimised, and my 12 core CPU is sat at 20%.

I close postman, within seconds the fans spin down.

I've tried a few alternatives but the rest of the team use postman and we've got shared collections and pretty extensive pre-request scripts and nothing else I've tried really fits the bill.

There is always the web version of postman. It can make localhost calls if you install their desktop agent. Might have better memory management somehow? I dunno.
