1.0 Design

Design the contract first

A visual OpenAPI editor for the whole contract — endpoints, schemas, versions — with the workflow of code.

Launching soon — be the first to get access.

Design without the YAML

Endpoints, parameters, and responses in a structured editor — the spec stays valid OpenAPI underneath.

  • Three-panel editor: tree, form, live preview
  • Path, query, header, and cookie parameters
  • Undo/redo, keyboard shortcuts, auto-save

Model schemas once, reuse everywhere

Nested objects, arrays, enums, and references — with examples generated as you type.

  • Visual JSON Schema builder with validation rules
  • Reusable components via $ref
  • Auto-generated examples per schema

Branch, review, merge

Draft on a spec branch, open a merge request, ship what survives review.

  • Spec branches isolate work in progress
  • Merge requests with review and approval flow
  • Conflict and breaking-change detection before merge

Governance built in

Lint rules and breaking-change checks keep every spec on your style guide — automatically.

  • 53+ style guide rules with auto-fix suggestions
  • 18 breaking-change rules across versions
  • Tag-based endpoint grouping with descriptions

OpenAPI in, OpenAPI out

Import existing specs, export anytime. No lock-in — the spec is yours.

  • OpenAPI 3.0 and 3.1, YAML or JSON
  • Validation against the spec schema on import
  • Tag grouping preserved on export

One living spec

The rest of the lifecycle

Change the spec — everything on this page updates with it.
