See Postman’s status page live, then tell an outage from your own Wi-Fi, DNS or network, with Kilobat’s free Mac checks." --- Is it down? · Developers # Is Postman down right now? The card here reads Postman’s status page live. If it reports no problems, the fault is probably on your side, and Kilobat finds where. Official status: [status.postman.com ↗](https://status.postman.com) [Download for Mac ↓](https://kilobat.app/downloads/Kilobat-1.33.1.dmg?via=site) ``` brew install seifip/kilobat/kilobat ``` Postman status.postman.com Live status This card reads Postman’s status page live when JavaScript is on. If nothing appears, open the page below. [Open status.postman.com ↗](https://status.postman.com) ## Sound familiar? - “Is Postman down, or is it just me?” - “Postman won’t load, but everything else does.” - “It works on my phone, but not on my Mac.” - “Should I restart the router, or wait it out?” ## Your connection, or their outage? What you notice says a lot about which side the problem is on. Kilobat checks both sides and says which. 1. ### Only Postman fails; everything else loads An outage at Postman, or something on the path to it only: DNS, a VPN or proxy, a blocked host. Why can’t it connect? checks every layer to postman.com, then Postman’s status page. If the page reports an outage and nothing on your side failed, it says “Postman is down for everyone, not you”. Free: 2. ### Postman fails on this network, but works on mobile data This network: an office, school, hotel or country rule, or its DNS. Kilobat compares this network’s DNS with one encrypted lookup and tests the secure connection, then says “looks blocked on this network, not down”, with what it measured. Free: 3. ### Everything is slow, Postman included Your own line: Wi-Fi, the router, your provider or DNS. Not Postman. Router and internet latency side by side show whether your own line is slow. Pro names the failing link, Wi-Fi, router, internet or DNS, with a fix. Free: Pro: 4. ### Postman’s status page is green, but Postman still fails The path from your Mac to Postman: DNS, a VPN or proxy, IPv6, or the server’s answer. “Postman’s status page reports no problems”, then the layer that broke and what to try next. Free: ## Six links between you and Postman. Postman loads only if every step works. A status page covers the last one; Kilobat checks the five before it too. 1. **Your Mac**A VPN, proxy or app in the way 2. **Wi-Fi**Signal, noise and band 3. **Router**Latency and loss to it 4. **Provider**Latency and loss beyond it 5. **DNS**Whether postman.com resolves, and how fast 6. **Postman**Postman’s status page, read live Why can’t it connect? Free: ## One check, both sides. Name Postman and Kilobat checks your Wi-Fi, DNS, VPN and proxy, the connection and the server’s answer, then asks Postman’s status page. When the page reports an outage and nothing on your side failed, the verdict leads with it. When your Mac is the problem, it says so first. Terminal ``` # Is it them? Postman’s status page $ kilobat down postman # Or me? Every layer from this Mac to Postman $ kilobat why postman.com ``` **Why can’t it connect?** Kilobat tests the request and path the app itself uses, its own proxy, IPv6 and tunnels included, and names the layer that broke.

[Free for students](https://kilobat.app/students). ## Questions **Is Postman down right now?** The official answer is Postman’s status page, [status.postman.com](https://status.postman.com), which Postman’s team updates. The card at the top of this page reads it live in your browser and repeats only what it says. **Why does Postman work for other people but not for me?** When Postman’s status page reports no problems, the cause is usually on your side or on the way: your Wi-Fi or router, your provider, DNS, a VPN or proxy, or a network that blocks it. Try mobile data: if Postman works there, your network is the problem. Kilobat checks each of these and names the one that failed. **What does Kilobat check for Postman?** Connections from the Postman app, and the sites postman.com, getpostman.com, matched to Postman’s status page. It checks your own line first, then asks the page. **Will Kilobat tell me when Postman has an outage?** Yes. When Postman keeps failing to connect while your own line is fine, and Postman’s status page reports trouble, you get one notification per incident. Turn it off in Settings. **Does it send anything about me?** No. It sends a plain request to the status page, with no cookies and nothing about you, your network or your apps. Read the [privacy notice](https://kilobat.app/privacy). **Is it free?** Yes: the status checks, the notifications and Why can’t it connect? are free. Kilobat Pro, $29 once, adds findings with a fix for your own network, possible causes of call freezes and history. ## Other services Kilobat checks - [Is GitHub down?](https://kilobat.app/is-github-down) - [Is GitHub Copilot down?](https://kilobat.app/is-copilot-down) - [Is GitLab down?](https://kilobat.app/is-gitlab-down) - [Is Bitbucket down?](https://kilobat.app/is-bitbucket-down) - [Is npm down?](https://kilobat.app/is-npm-down) - [Is Docker down?](https://kilobat.app/is-docker-down) - [Is Vercel down?](https://kilobat.app/is-vercel-down) - [Is Netlify down?](https://kilobat.app/is-netlify-down) - [Is Supabase down?](https://kilobat.app/is-supabase-down) - [Is Cloudflare down?](https://kilobat.app/is-cloudflare-down) [All 72 services, live](https://kilobat.app/service-status) · [How Kilobat tells an outage from your connection](https://kilobat.app/is-it-down) · [Slow internet on a Mac](https://kilobat.app/slow-internet-mac) ## Sources - [Postman’s status page](https://status.postman.com) - [Postman’s status page: the feed Kilobat reads](https://status.postman.com/api/v2/summary.json) Checked on 6 November 2026. ## Next time Postman stalls, know whose problem it is.
