A desktop markdown editor with a runtime inside. Write the doc, hit run, ship the proof. Website · Releases · Contributing · Security What is httui? httui collapses four tools into one markdown file: Before With httui -------- ----------- Document APIs in Notion Docs that execute Test requests in Postman Requests next to the docs Query the DB in DBeaver SQL in the same file Chain calls in a shell script Blocks reference blocks Everything serializes to standard .md files. Read them in vim, diff them in git, open them in Obsidian. See it in action: httui.com Features Executable blocks — HTTP requests and SQL queries live inline in your markdown as fenced code blocks. Block references — {{create-user.response.id}} lets blocks reference each other. Dependencies execute automatically in the right order. DAG by construction, no cycles possible. Database support — Postgres, MySQL, SQLite with schema-aware autocomplete. SQL references become bind parameters, never string-interpolated. Environments — Key-value variables resolved with {{KEY}} syntax. Secret values encrypted via OS keychain. AI assistant — Claude agent with MCP tools that reads, searches, and modifies your notes. Every write stops at a permission prompt with side-by-side diff. Multi-pane editor — Binary tree layout with tabs, drag-drop reordering, split views. Vim mode — CodeMirror 6 with @replit/codemirror-vim for full motion support inside fenced blocks.
