For simple requests where it's just convenient to have them in a list, with a description/easy to find for replaying, a VSCode extension like Rest Client [0] can be useful instead of the desktop apps. Well, VSCode is a desktop app too, but if you already use it... :P I like it because you can just write a text file with the request and any comments you need around them, and... being just text, it's so easy to manipulate. When I need scripts for special auth I fall back to postman though, haven't digged enough to see if I can make it work with that addon (or any other one). Also there's Thunder Client [1] which I haven't tried but apparenly has more features. EDIT: references [0] https://github.com/Huachao/vscode-restclient [1] https://www.thunderclient.io/
