About:
BloomRPC is a standalone desktop application that provides a graphical user interface for interacting with gRPC services. It allows developers to import Protocol Buffer definitions, explore service methods, and make real-time RPC calls with a clean, intuitive interface. Its main value is simplifying gRPC API testing and debugging without requiring command-line tools or writing client code.
Key Features:
  • Import .proto files to discover gRPC services
  • Interactive GUI for making gRPC calls with form-based inputs
  • Real-time streaming support for bidirectional and server/client streams
  • Request history and saved configurations for repeated testing
  • TLS/SSL support for secure connections
Use Cases:
  • Testing and debugging gRPC APIs during development
  • Exploring and documenting gRPC service contracts without writing code
  • Providing a lightweight GUI alternative to command-line gRPC tools like grpcurl
Alternatives:
  • grpcui – Command-line tool that launches a web UI; BloomRPC is a dedicated desktop app
  • Postman – Supports gRPC but is broader API client; BloomRPC is gRPC-specific with native .proto handling
  • kreya – Commercial gRPC GUI client; BloomRPC is free and open-source
