Replace bloated, heavy tools. Bapu Studio unites your HTTP requests, multi-tab SQL scratchpads, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, SQLite, SSH-tunneled connections, and local .env variables in one fast, lightweight, local-first client.

Everything you need for full-stack API, real-time stream, and database engineering without the bloat.
Open, rename, and manage multiple concurrent query buffers per database connection. Double-click inline renaming and auto-saving persistence across app restarts.
Highlight any query segment to run selected code (Ctrl+Enter / F5). 1-click EXPLAIN query visualizer for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and MongoDB executionStats.
Switch seamlessly between an interactive data grid with CSV export and a detailed Execution Console displaying latency (ms), rows affected, and query execution plans.
Connect securely to enterprise databases with custom Root CA certificates (ca.pem), client certificates (mTLS), and client private keys with configurable CA verification.
Multi-method HTTP/GraphQL engine with sub-millisecond latency timer, cURL importer, and one-click code generation in TypeScript, Python, Go, and Rust.
Live stream listener and bidirectional WebSocket console with real-time frame telemetry, connection lifecycle tracking, and JSON payload inspection.
Execute pre-request scripts and automated assertions with pm.test, pm.environment.set, and bapu.expect. 1-click Postman v2.1 and OpenAPI 3.0 import/export.
Scoped environment variables with secret masking and instant {{VARIABLE}} URL interpolation. Drag-and-drop SQLite file inspection powered by a real sql.js engine — real schema, real queries, real writes.
Reach Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, or Redis instances that only live inside a private network — password or private-key authentication to the jump host, forwarded automatically.
Run raw Redis commands (GET, HGETALL, SCAN, ...) against a real connection, with a type-aware keyspace browser and the same SSH/TLS options as your SQL databases.
Link an API collection to a folder and it's mirrored as one plain JSON file per request — small, reviewable diffs instead of one opaque blob, so teams can code-review API changes like any other PR.
Zero telemetry, zero cloud lock-in, and 100% focused on developer productivity.
