If you're just looking to store API collections locally, an alternative I use is a VS Code plugin called ThunderClient [1].

imho, dev centric tools that care about system resource usage should just integrate with the IDE when possible. It's already running!

So is the OS.

This is the kind of snarky response I can approve of.
But it's true, more code doesn't run for free, regardless of whether some code is already running. An application is part of the OS like a VS Code plugin is part of VS Code. Emacs users know.
Seems like you have to pay for offline collection runs. I don't understand why you should have to pay for that if it isn't using their cloud to execute them.
