Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

  • Browse your database

    Tables, views, columns, indexes, foreign keys and row counts — laid out plainly instead of buried behind a terminal.

  • Query without leaving the app

    A real SQL editor with completion, formatting and EXPLAIN, and results in a grid you can keep working in.

  • Edit records directly

    Change a cell, add a row, delete one. Edits stage up first — review the exact SQL before anything is written.

  • Follow the relationships

    Jump through a foreign key to the row it points at, and see what a delete would cascade to before you run it.

  • Find things fast

    Filter tables, search rows, filter by column, and pull any query back out of history — no scrolling through a tree.

  • Stay in control

    A direct connection from your machine to your database. Passwords live in the OS keychain, not in a cloud account.

Browse

See your database clearly.

Every table, view, column and index in one pane. Pin the tables you live in, search the rest, and open as many as you want in tabs.

  • Tables and views with live row counts
  • Column types, nullability and defaults at a glance
  • Tabs, pinning and a searchable table list

Query

SQL when you need it.

Write it, run it, read the result — then keep going. Results land in the same grid as a table, so you can filter, sort and export them.

  • Syntax highlighting, completion and formatting
  • EXPLAIN plans without leaving the editor
  • Searchable history, plus queries you can save and name

Edit

Edit data without the terminal.

Change a value in place, add a row, drop one. Nothing is written until you say so — edits stage up first, and you can read the exact SQL before it runs.

  • Staged changes with a Review SQL step
  • Cascade preview before a delete goes through
  • Import from CSV; export to CSV, JSON, SQL or Excel

Why JustDB

Built for people who just want to see the damn database.

  • Fast

    Opens to your connections. Two clicks to rows.

  • Simple

    No dashboards, no workspaces, no onboarding tour.

  • Private

    Direct connection. Credentials stay in your keychain.

  • Free

    No account, no trial, no paid tier.

  • Native

    A real desktop app on macOS and Windows.

Heavy database tools

  • Install, license, configure
  • Nine panels you never open
  • Enterprise-shaped by default
  • A learning curve before a first query

JustDB

  • Download, paste a URL, connect
  • Tables, SQL, edits — that's the app
  • Developer-shaped by default
  • Rows on screen in under a minute

Supported databases

Works with your database.

Local files, containers, and hosted servers alike. If MySQL is what you need, it is on the list — but it is not shipped yet, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise.

  • PostgreSQL

    Local, Docker, or hosted

  • SQLite

    Any local .db file

  • Turso / libSQL

    Remote, via auth token

Planned: MySQL MariaDB

macOS

Universal — Apple silicon + Intel

Windows

x64 installer (.exe) or .msi

Who it's for

Built for people who work with databases.

  • Developers

    Poke at a dev database without writing a throwaway script.

  • Backend engineers

    Check a schema, chase a foreign key, verify a migration landed.

  • Indie hackers

    Debug production data without installing a 400MB Java client.

  • Small teams

    One simple tool everyone can use, with no seats to buy.

Just your database.
No bullshit.

JustDB is built around one idea: looking at your own data shouldn't require a complicated application, a cloud account, or a dozen configuration screens.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

What databases does JustDB support?

PostgreSQL and SQLite, including remote libSQL/Turso databases over a libsql:// URL with an auth token. MySQL and MariaDB are planned — the option stays hidden in the app until the driver actually ships.

Is JustDB free?

Yes. No account, no trial, no paid tier, no upsell. It is built by KreativeKorna Concepts and released for free.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no signup, no login and no sync service. Open the app, paste a connection string, and you are in.

Is my database uploaded anywhere?

No. JustDB opens a direct connection from your machine to your database — queries, schemas and rows never pass through a server we run. The app does send anonymous usage analytics (which features get used, and coarse timing buckets; never SQL, table names, file paths or row data), and you can switch that off in Settings.

Does JustDB store my database credentials?

Passwords and Turso auth tokens are written to your OS keychain — Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows, Secret Service on Linux. The non-secret parts of a saved connection (host, port, database name, username) sit in a plain JSON file in the app config directory. Neither is uploaded anywhere.

Can I connect to a remote database?

Yes. Any PostgreSQL you can reach over the network, with TLS when the server requires it, plus Turso/libSQL over an authenticated libsql:// URL.

Does it work with a database running in Docker?

Yes. A container is just a host and a port — point JustDB at localhost:5432 (or whatever you published) like any other server. Nothing Docker-specific to configure.

Can I use SSH tunnels?

Not built in yet. Open the tunnel yourself — ssh -L 5432:db.internal:5432 bastion — and connect JustDB to the forwarded local port.

Does JustDB use AI?

Only if you turn it on. There is an optional panel that drafts and explains SQL, and it stays inert until you add your own provider API key (kept in the OS keychain) or point it at a local Claude Code CLI. Nothing leaves your machine otherwise.

What operating systems are supported?

macOS as a universal build (Apple silicon and Intel) and Windows x64 as an .exe or .msi installer. Linux is not published as a bundle yet, though the repo builds from source on Linux.

Is there a cloud version?

No, and none is planned. JustDB is a desktop app that talks straight to your database — that is the whole point.
