Pricing

Every year, another bill for sending HTTP requests.

$29.99 once. Not $29.99 a year.

Karve is a native Windows workspace for the .http files already sitting in your repos. Find them, run them, and read the response without opening your IDE. Buy it once and it stays yours, including every v1.x update.

Start with the free 15-day trial.

The Store handles it. There's no Karve account to create, and no subscription to cancel afterwards.

15-day free trial · One-time purchase · Windows 10/11 · x64 · ARM64

Every .http file you own, gathered from across your repos into one workspace, without moving a single file off disk.

Stop hunting for the request

It's already in one of your repos. Karve gathers them into one workspace, so you run the request instead of searching three projects for it or typing it out again.

Run a .http file

Pay once, then never again

No renewal, no seat count, and no charge by request volume, workspace, or API call. Every v1.x update is included in what you already paid.

See what you keep

Nothing leaves your PC

No account to create, no cloud sync, no tokens in someone else's database. Your requests stay plain text on your disk, where nobody can lock you out of them.

FAQ

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The Microsoft Store offers a 15-day free trial — install Karve, use it, and unlock the full app with a single purchase when the trial ends.

Is $29.99 a subscription?

No. It is a one-time discounted price. The regular one-time price is $39.99.

Do I need a Karve account?

No. There is no Karve account to create, no sign-in, and no profile to manage. The Microsoft Store handles the purchase and the updates.

What happens when the discount ends?

The discount runs until September 1, 2026. After that the regular price is $39.99 one-time. If you buy while it is discounted, you keep your license and still receive future v1.x updates.

Is my data private?

Yes. Karve runs entirely on your machine: requests are sent straight from your PC, and nothing — requests, responses, or variables — is stored in any cloud. The only data Karve sends is anonymous crash diagnostics. See our privacy policy.

Can I bring requests from Postman or VS Code REST Client?

.http and .rest files open directly in Karve. Exported Postman collections can be converted locally with the free Postman → .http tool; native in-app import remains on the v1.1 roadmap.

Can my team use Karve?

Karve is a single-user local app. Each teammate installs their own copy, and you share .http files through Git like any other file in your repo. There is no cloud or team sync in v1.

What are the system requirements?

Windows 10 version 1809 (build 17763) or newer, including Windows 11. x64, x86, and ARM64 are supported.

Can I get a refund?

Start with the 15-day free trial so you only buy once you know Karve fits your workflow. Purchases are handled by the Microsoft Store under its standard terms.

How do I get support?

Email karve@xakpc.dev, open an issue on GitHub, or read the docs.

I kept my own requests as .http files next to my code, spread across a lot of microservice repos, and it was quite annoying to find and manage them. So I built the tool I wanted. It's a one-person project, and it's priced once so I never have to invent a reason to bill you again next year.
