Overview

About Karve

Karve is a Windows desktop app for developers who keep HTTP request files inside their repositories. It groups files from multiple repos into virtual folders without moving them, runs requests, shows responses, headers and timing, and keeps a searchable history with per-file environments.

What it does

Indexes .http and .rest files across repositories, lets developers run and inspect requests and keeps history and environments without changing files on disk.

Where it fits

Part of the API development workflow alongside VS Code REST Client or JetBrains HTTP Client, keeping requests in Git instead of a cloud collection tool.

Who it suits

Backend and microservice developers on Windows who already store API requests as files in their codebases.
