Getting started
Is Ironcall free?+
Yes. The Free plan is unlimited: no request cap, no collection limit, CLI included. During the public beta, accounts and cloud sync are free for everyone too. The Pro plan activates at V1, when sync becomes Pro-only; pricing is still being decided. Real-time collaboration and shared workspaces follow in V2.
Does Ironcall require an internet connection?+
No. Ironcall is offline-first. All requests run locally against your machine. An internet connection is only needed when you opt into team sync.
Which platforms are supported?+
Windows and Linux. macOS support is planned for a future release. The CLI runs anywhere Rust binaries run.
Do I need to create an account?+
No account is required to use the desktop app or CLI. An account is only needed if you enable cloud sync (free during the beta, Pro at V1).
Features
How does sync and collaboration work?+
Ironcall uses CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) to merge changes across devices and team members without conflicts. Cloud sync ships with the public beta. Real-time collaboration (live cursors, presence, comments) arrives in V2.
Can I import collections from Postman?+
Yes. Import from Postman and Insomnia collections is supported directly in the app. Collections in Ironcall use an open YAML format and can also be exported at any time.
Is there a CLI?+
Yes. ironcall-cli is a full-featured command-line client that shares the same core as the desktop app. It is included in the Free plan.
Can I use variables and environments?+
Yes. Define environments with key-value pairs and reference them anywhere in a request using the {{variable_name}} syntax. Variables work in URLs, headers, query parameters, and request bodies.
Data & Privacy
Where is my data stored?+
Locally, in a SQLite database on your machine. If you enable team sync, data is replicated to EU-based servers only. Ironcall never stores data outside the EU.
What telemetry does Ironcall collect?+
Telemetry is opt-in and anonymous. If you agree at first launch, Ironcall sends: app version, OS name and version, and a SHA-256 hash of your MAC address (no raw MAC is ever transmitted). No request data, URLs, or credentials are ever collected.
Is my data encrypted?+
Request data stored locally is as secure as your machine. Synced team data uses end-to-end encryption; the server never sees plaintext content.
How do I opt out of telemetry?+
You are asked once, at first launch. You can change your choice at any time in Settings > Privacy.
Pricing & billing
What is included in the Free plan?+
Unlimited requests, unlimited collections, environments, variables, CLI access, and local storage. Everything you need to work solo.
What does Pro add?+
At V1, Pro adds cloud sync across devices, a hosted account, and the web dashboard. Pricing is still being decided and will be announced before V1. V2 expands Pro with shared workspaces, role-based permissions, real-time collaboration, and comments.
Is there an Enterprise plan?+
Enterprise is planned for the longer term with SSO, audit logs, and custom hosting. Contact us if you have specific requirements.
