The App Store description calls this "Paw – The missing HTTP Client for OS X".

Why do we keep describing apps as "missing" from an OS? Surely we're not implying that an OS should ship with all these different tools, right?

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22the+missing%22+*+from+OSX (not the best search but it shows a few. In my mind I seem to recall having read this a lot though)

Also, the app looks great. I'm using RESTed right now and looks like this does all the things I wish RESTed would do.

It's been standard for longer than I've been alive to overload $OS_NAME to mean all of the following:

kernel

kernel + default userland

Kernel + default userland + kernel vendor add-ons

kernel + default userland + kernel vendor add-ons + ecosystem software

Also, since linux gained traction OS can frequently be interchanged with distribution of a kernel + userland + packaging tools + software repository + ecosystem, in various ways, and as above.

Not sure why you decided that OSX means strictly:

kernel + default userland

Fair point, it's just how I interpreted it, others may read that differently.

I was just focused on the "missing" term, to me that implies something that was once there or is notable in it's absence. However, as with many of the things that describe themselves in this way, that is not the case.

In this particular case, HTTP clients for the OSX ecosystem are not missing, they're just not that great.

In general I just dislike the wording.

I think it just means missing as in something you always wished you had.
