Postman helps you be more efficient while working with APIs. Postman is a scratch-your-own-itch project. The need for it arose while one of the developers was creating an API for his project. After looking around for a number of tools, nothing felt just right. The primary features added initially were a history of sent requests and collections. A number of other features have been added since then. Here is a small list. **Features** *Create requests quickly* - Compact layout - HTTP requests with file upload support - Formatted API responses for JSON and XML - Open responses as an HTML file in a new window - HATEOAS support - Image previews - Request history - Basic and OAuth 1.0 helpers - Autocomplete for URL and header values - Key/value editors for adding parameters or header values. Works for URL parameters too. - Use environment variables to easily shift between settings. Great for testing production, staging or local setups. - Use Global variables for values which are common throughout APIs - Use the quick look feature to preview variables and their values before you use them - Keyboard shortcuts to maximize your productivity **Document and share APIs** - Use collections to organize requests and share them quickly using URLs. - Document requests inside collections. You can even store entire HTML notes. Postman uses Bootstrap so you can use it too to style your notes. - Download and share collections with your team of developers. - Improved collection editing in 0.6.3 **Collections** Collections can be any group of requests. You can save any kind of request by clicking the 'Add to collection' button. While saving the request you can also add a name and a note. There is no limit on the size of the notes so it can be as detailed as possible. Collections can be downloaded and shared as a file. Oh also, Postman is open sourced under the Apache License 2.0.

It's not used for anything else. It's not a new permission and Postman has required it since it was launched. Follow http://www.twitter.com/postmanclient for updates.
