Versions:
apic-gui is a desktop graphical interface for apic, published by Rizki Rakasiwi and currently at version 0.5.1, with five versions released to date. The software serves as the desktop front-end for apic and is built on the shared apic-core foundation, giving it a common technical base with the rest of the apic tooling. Its purpose is to let users design, validate, and collaborate on API contracts through a graphical interface rather than working exclusively with text-based or command-line workflows. A central characteristic of the tool is its focus on Git-friendly API contracts, meaning the contracts it helps produce are intended to fit naturally into Git-based version control practices, which supports collaboration and change tracking among team members working on API definitions. In terms of use cases, apic-gui is suited to designing new API contracts, validating existing ones against expectations, and enabling collaborative work on API specifications within teams that rely on Git for managing their development assets. The software falls within the API design and development tooling category, specifically among contract-first API design tools with graphical editing capabilities. As a desktop application, it runs locally rather than as a hosted service, positioning it as a companion piece for developers and API designers who prefer a dedicated interface for contract work. The description highlights three core activities—designing, validating, and collaborating—which together define the workflow the application is meant to support. Because it shares apic-core with the broader apic project, its graphical capabilities rest on the same underlying logic used elsewhere in the ecosystem. Version 0.5.1 represents the current release, and the existence of five total versions indicates an ongoing development history with iterative updates since the project's introduction. apic-gui therefore occupies a focused niche: bringing a visual, desktop-based experience to Git-oriented API contract design while remaining connected to the wider apic toolset through its shared core.
