Bandura API Testing IDE: Free Indefinitely for Personal, Learning and Open-Source Work

Bandura is a local-first API testing IDE that stores graph-based API flows as plain YAML in the user's own Git repository and can run the same flows locally, offline or headlessly in CI. The official Bandura site states that the complete application is free indefinitely for personal, learning and open-source work, with no features locked, timed or degraded. Commercial users receive 30 days to evaluate the product before a one-time per-seat licence is expected; Bandura says the software itself is not disabled or made read-only after that evaluation period. At verification, version 1.0.0-rc.8 is downloadable for Windows and Linux, while a signed macOS build and final 1.0 release are announced for August 2026. This record does not claim commercial use is permanently free. Users should review the current licence terms on Bandura's official site before using it for paid business work.
