Roadmap

Where Karve is headed.

Karve is a native Windows workspace for the .http files you already write — write, organize, and run them. Here's what's in the app now, what we're building next, and what we're deliberately leaving out. One purchase includes every v1.x update below — no new license, no upsell.

Shipping now

v1.0 — available today

GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, and OPTIONS, plus headers, query params, and bodies

File-level @variables and {{refs}}

Virtual collections of .http files — files never move

Response viewer: JSON tree, Raw, Headers, Request, timing & size

Tabs with full session restore on launch

Per-file .env environments with an active switcher

Persistent, searchable request history — saved across sessions

Drag-and-drop files and folders

Light & dark themes with Mica

Open .http / .rest straight from File Explorer

Full .rest parity — open, save, drag-and-drop, and search

New to the format? The .http guide walks through everything Karve runs.

Latest release

v1.0.5 — send feedback & rate Karve

2026-07-05

Send feedback from Settings — bugs and ideas go straight to the developer, privately

Rate Karve on the Microsoft Store right from Settings — no hunting for the listing

After your 20th sent request, Karve asks once — and never again — whether you're enjoying it

Previous release

v1.0.4 — environments & persistent history

Per-file .env environments with a switcher — the same requests hit dev, staging, or prod; your file @variables still win

The active environment is always shown in the status bar

Persistent, searchable history — every request and full response saved across sessions, not just this session

Re-open any past request straight into a tab to inspect or resend it

Double-click to open entries from the Explorer and History panels

Response-viewer cleanup and UI polish throughout

Coming next

v1.1 — what we're building

The next wave of features, in roughly the order we expect to ship them. Order and timing aren't a promise — this is what's on the bench, not a dated commitment.

Workspace

Gather your .http files and collections into one source-controllable workspace you can save, reopen, and share — files stay on disk.

Code completion

Smarter editor assist — complete HTTP methods, header names, and {{variables}} as you type.

Import

Bring requests in from Postman collections and raw cURL commands — converted into clean .http files.

WebSocket

Basic WebSocket support — connect, send, receive, and watch the message log.

…and something we haven't built yet

The list above isn't the whole story. The most interesting feature on this roadmap is the one that isn't here yet — and it'll come from how people actually use Karve. Have an idea that would make it indispensable? Tell us — it might be next.

Not planned

Out of scope, on purpose

Karve stays a fast, focused workspace for your .http files. To keep it that way, some things are deliberately not on the roadmap — they belong to a different, heavier kind of tool:

Scripting engine Mock servers Proxy capture Monitoring Plugins GraphQL gRPC MQTT SSE Team workspaces Collection runner API docs generation
