What do you mean partially closed source? I thought Insomnia was fully open source[1] and I couldn't find any closed source elements after looking around.

What's the difference between Restfox and https://github.com/Kong/insomnia ?

Seems both of them are Postman alternative.

Luckily it is open source https://github.com/Kong/insomnia so if something like that happens, a community KISS fork is possible.

I'm a big Insomnia fan and always recommend it over Postman as it's simple to use. Although even it feel a bit to "modern UI like" to me. I'd really love a old fashioned win 95 UI for this kind of thing. Tortoise git for example is my idea of a nice UI for a tool.
