Quick Start

Launch the TUI (no setup needed):

Terminal window
noodle

This opens an empty workspace. The default collection directory (./collections) is created automatically when you save your first request.

Noodle empty workspace

Press Ctrl+N to open the new request overlay. Enter a name, method, and URL, then press Ctrl+S to save.

New request overlay

Try it with a simple GET:

Name: Example Request
Method: GET
Request URL: https://httpbin.org/get

Press Ctrl+Return to send. The response pane shows the status code, headers, body, and timing.

Request and response

Noodle wrote a .yml file on disk at ./collections/example-request.yml. Every request is a file — edit it directly, commit it to version control, or share it with your team.
