GoTesty is a lightweight, full-stack desktop and web tool for testing RESTful APIs. Built with Go, Wails, React, and TailwindCSS, it delivers a native-feeling API client without the overhead of heavyweight tools like Postman.
Designed for developers who want speed, clarity, and control across the entire stack.
GoTesty bridges backend performance with a modern frontend experience:
- Fast — Go-powered HTTP engine
- Simple — focused feature set, no clutter
- Full-stack — backend logic + frontend UI in one cohesive app
- Native — compiled binaries via Wails
- Portable — desktop-first, web-ready architecture
- Built-in request builder (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
- Custom headers and body support
- Pretty JSON output viewer
- Clean, minimal UI with TailwindCSS
- Cross-platform (macOS, Windows, Linux)
- Powered by Go + Wails for a native feel
