§1

Shortcuts-First

requiem gives Apple Shortcuts real HTTP capabilities. Chainable actions let you build requests step by step — set methods, add headers, compose bodies, append paths, add query parameters — then send. Each action passes its result to the next.

No scripting required. Just connect the blocks.

§2

The .http Standard

Requests live as .http files — the same format used by VS Code REST Client, JetBrains, and httpYac. Portable. Readable. Versionable. Not locked in a proprietary database. Read the spec.

POST https://httpbin.org/post
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json

{
  "name": "Alice",
  "role": "admin"
}
§3

Syntax Highlighting

Every element is color-coded: methods, URLs, headers, status codes by class. JSON, XML, HTML, and form bodies are parsed and highlighted individually. Long headers wrap to fit your screen.

Syntax-highlighted request and response
§4

Share With a Link

Encode any request as a req.to URL. The full request — method, headers, body — is encoded in the URL itself. No account required. No server involved.

§5

Rich File Previews

.http files show custom thumbnails in Files, Spotlight, and Share Sheets — method, domain, headers, and body at a glance. QuickLook renders full syntax-highlighted content.
