Insomnia's update locks out prev user data, forces account creation w/o warning

I'm a long time user of Insomnia API client (https://insomnia.rest) without an account and was prompted to update the app an hour ago. I thought this was a regular feature update and accepted. After the app relaunches, it gives me the option to create an account with them or use without an account. When I choose the latter, my data is gone. Many others are reporting the same problem (https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/issues/6577). It's actually a good app but this strong-arming behavior is simply unacceptable to me. What other choices do I have? Postman for Mac?
