PrivyAPIStudio: Pathfinder

PrivyAPIStudio is a native macOS API workbench built for developers who want a focused, local-first way to explore, test, and understand APIs.

Features
PrivyAPIStudio is a native macOS API workbench for importing OpenAPI or Swagger specs, organizing endpoints, building requests, sending HTTP calls, inspecting responses, comparing API changes, and using local AI assistance with providers such as Ollama or LM Studio.

Version 0.1.5 adds first-class authentication support to the request workflow. Developers can choose No Auth, Basic Auth, Bearer Token, JWT Token, or API Key from a dedicated Auth tab, then store the configuration with each API operation. API keys can be applied as either headers or query parameters, and all credential fields can use environment-aware variables.

Advantages
The app keeps API exploration local, structured, and fast. Projects, groups, request history, variables, environments, response viewers, diff tools, and AI assistance all live in one native Mac workspace instead of being split across browser tabs, command-line tools, and separate note-taking surfaces.

The redesigned environment panel makes variable scope clearer and gives each scope more room. The AI panel now renders structured answers more naturally, including headings, lists, code blocks, and Markdown formatting. The refreshed glass-style controls make common actions easier to scan while keeping the interface aligned with modern macOS expectations.

Benefits
Developers can move from API import to request testing, debugging, review, and documentation faster. Environment-aware variables reduce repetitive edits, Markdown AI output is easier to read and reuse, and the cleaner request/response layout helps teams inspect behavior with less visual noise.

PrivyAPIStudio 0.1.4 is designed to make everyday API work feel more focused, more native, and more comfortable on Mac.
