Your requests are plain .http files — the open, text-based format your editor already understands. They live as files on disk, scattered across whatever repos you work in: they sit next to your code, diff cleanly in Git, and belong to you. Karve is the workspace that sits on top of them — no conversion, no import, no proprietary format.
Features
Every request in one workspace.
Add .http files from anywhere on disk — even spread across different repos and projects — and group them into virtual folders. Karve organizes on top of your filesystem: files never move, so your repo structure and Git history stay exactly as they are. Reorder with drag-and-drop, search across files and requests, and drop files straight from Explorer onto the window.
Write it, run it, read it.
Write a request, click Run on its method line, and the response lands in its own panel. All HTTP methods, custom headers, query params, and request bodies are supported — with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and {{variable}} autocomplete.
Open a file. Run a request. Read the response.
See exactly what came back.
A response viewer that gets out of the way: switch between a collapsible JSON tree, a pretty-printed raw body (JSON and XML), a clean response-headers table, and the resolved request that shows exactly what was sent after variable substitution. Status, time, and size at a glance — copy or save any response body in one click.
And the rest
File-level variables
Declare @baseUrl once and reuse it with {{baseUrl}} across every request in the file.
Tabs with session restore
Work across multiple files in tabs. Karve restores your open tabs on every launch, so you pick up where you left off.
Session history
Every request you run is listed with its method, status, and timing — click any entry to jump back to it.
