The Bruno API Client is the desktop app you use to build, send, and organize API requests. Collections are stored as plain text files on your filesystem, so you can version them with Git and review API changes like code.

New to Bruno? Start with the [Bruno Starter Guide](/introduction/quick-start), or [download the app](/get-started/bruno-basics/download) if you haven't installed it yet.

## The rest of Bruno

Run the same collections from the command line and in CI/CD.
