RESTK Release — Git Sync, a Native Glass Redesign, and Better Imports

This release brings git-native workspaces to RESTK: version your entire API workspace in a repository you own, with a visual conflict resolver. Plus a refreshed macOS 26 interface and a wider set of importable formats.

This is a big one. The headline is Git Sync — your entire API workspace, versioned in a git repository you own — alongside a refreshed native interface for macOS 26 and a broader set of import formats. Here is everything in this release.

🔷 Git Sync — your API workspace, versioned like code

The flagship of this release. Your requests, environments, folders, and collection runners can now live as plain files in a git repository you own — so you commit, branch, and merge changes to your API workspace exactly like you do with the rest of your code.

  • Files as the source of truth. Your workspace is versioned in a repo you control, and RESTK does the git work — commit, branch, push, pull — from inside the app. No separate git client needed.
  • A real merge, with a visual resolver. When two people edit the same request, RESTK shows both versions side by side to choose from, instead of dropping raw conflict markers into a file. Renames stay renames; moves keep your work.
  • Structural-conflict integrity. Coupled renames, requests moved between folders, and squash merges are handled so your workspace never silently duplicates or loses an entity.
  • Secrets never committed. Mark a value as a secret and it stays out of every commit. Teammates see which secrets a workspace expects, never their values — and a secret scan gates every commit and push.
  • Runners, environments, and auth included. Your collection runners, environment variables, and authentication setup all round-trip cleanly through git.

✨ A refreshed, native interface for macOS 26

RESTK's chrome has been rebuilt to feel at home on macOS 26 — a cleaner, more native interface that uses the platform's latest design language while keeping the fast, keyboard-first experience you expect from a native app. It is a visual refresh of the app's controls and navigation, not a relearn: everything is where you left it, just sharper.

📥 Import from more places — and take it straight to git

Bring your existing work with you. RESTK auto-detects and imports:

  • Postman collections (v2.0 / v2.1) and environments
  • Insomnia exports
  • OpenAPI / Swagger specs (3.0 / 3.1 and Swagger 2.0)
  • HAR files and cURL commands

And because import runs entirely on your machine, whatever you bring in lands in a workspace you can put straight into git — every supported format is portable into a git-synced workspace.
