Saola

Saola is a privacy-focused, cross-platform desktop API client for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Named after the rare "Asian Unicorn," Saola emphasizes privacy, speed, and user-owned data.

Why Saola​

Unlike competitors that force data into their clouds, Saola ensures your API collections and sensitive environment variables stay in your control. Sync to your own infrastructure—Google Drive or AWS S3—with optional end-to-end encryption (E2EE) so your data is never exposed in plain text on remote servers.

  • Environments & variables — Use {{variable}} interpolation in URLs, headers, and body
  • Code snippets — Generate cURL, fetch, and Python snippets with one click
  • Request logs — Verbose view of outgoing requests and incoming responses
