FAQ

Answers to the questions people most often ask about Vegha.

Is it really free?

Yes. Vegha is free and open source under the MIT license. You can use, modify, and redistribute it.

Does it phone home?

No. Vegha has zero telemetry, zero crash reporting, and zero analytics. The only outbound traffic is the requests you send, the auth flows you start, and — in direct-download builds only — update checks against the GitHub releases feed. See Data and Privacy.

Is it an Electron app?

No. Vegha is a native desktop app built with Avalonia 11 and .NET 10. It is not based on Electron.

How does it compare to Bruno, Postman, and Insomnia?

Vegha stores collections as plain-text, Bruno-style .bru files in a workspace folder, so collections are version-controllable and human-readable. Unlike cloud-oriented tools, Vegha is local-first with no account and no telemetry. You can import existing Postman, Insomnia, and Bruno collections — see Importing overview.

Can I use it commercially?

Yes. The MIT license permits commercial use at no cost.

How do I migrate from Postman?

Export your Postman collection, then import it with File → Import (Ctrl+I) in the app or with vegha import on the command line. See vegha import.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Vegha is local-first. Aside from the requests you explicitly send, it does not need an internet connection to function.

How do updates work?

Direct-download builds update automatically through Velopack, checking the GitHub releases feed. Microsoft Store (MSIX) and Mac App Store (MAS) builds are updated by the store and do not perform their own update checks.

Is there a CLI?

Yes. The vegha command-line tool runs collections in a terminal or in CI using the same engine as the desktop app. See the CLI Overview.

How do I report a bug?
