Insomnia is powerful but external. DevConsole lives inside your application, inheriting your session state automatically.
Desktop app vs in-app integration
Insomnia is a separate desktop app. DevConsole runs directly in your browser alongside your app.
DevConsole automatically uses your app's auth state. No token copying or environment setup.
Store your API collections in your repo. Share via Git, not Insomnia Cloud.
