Another alternative I've been meaning to try out: https://restfox.dev/

So comparing the two...

Unique to Restfox

- a nice "beautify json" button

- in addition to response code and time, shows size and exact timestamp of response

- Can drag and drop to reorganize folders and items in sidebar

Unique to RecipeUI

- TypeScript interface definitions

- Generates cURL, Javascript and Python code snippets you can copy

Probably other things, but these are what stood out.

Restfox works right in the browser, no additional downloads needed, it seems.
That can also be a downside: CORS. Restfox recommends a browser extension to workaround that, and now we're back to additional downloads.
