About
Paw is a powerful REST, GraphQL, and HTTP API testing client for macOS, designed for developers who need a native, feature-rich alternative to web-based tools like Postman. Founded and developed as an independent Mac application, Paw gained a loyal following among macOS developers for its native performance, intuitive interface, and advanced features including dynamic values, environment variables, code generation across multiple languages, and deep JSON/XML response visualization. The application was acquired by RapidAPI in 2022.
Claude Code launched February 2025 as Anthropic's agentic coding CLI — the first major AI coding tool to operate autonomously in the terminal without an IDE.
About
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic software engineering tool, launched in February 2025 as a command-line interface that operates directly in developer terminals. Unlike IDE-based coding assistants (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf), Claude Code operates at the shell level — reading and editing files, running tests, committing to Git, and executing long multi-step engineering tasks autonomously. It is built on Claude 3.7 Sonnet's extended thinking capability and is available as an npm package ($0.001–0.015 per token via Anthropic API).
