  • •Zero telemetry with direct database connections, no intermediary backend
Weaknesses
  • •Database admin clients already exist (TablePlus, DataGrip) with mobile companions
  • •Free tier limited to one database may frustrate developers managing multiple projects
Target Audience

Post Description

Lately I've found myself frequently needing to view/modify data while I'm not at my desk. I couldn't find any existing database admin client that was easy to navigate on mobile so I built my own. It uses a simple sort of CMS-like interface instead of traditional tables (which I just don't think work well on mobile). You can connect to pretty much any Postgres, MySQL, or SQLite cloud database or create/import a SQLite database locally. Supported devices can also use Apple/Google's on-device AI models to generate SQL queries locally.

Everything is stored and processed locally and there's no telemetry. There is no backend, so it only interfaces directly with database endpoints.

All features can be used for free with a single saved database, or there's a one-time purchase option to unlock unlimited databases.

I'd love to hear any feedback or questions.

Queryline – One app for SQL and Firestore with a command palette

CMD+K everywhere plus a unified SQL + Firestore UI is the clearest selling point — you can jump between connections, tables and exports without touching the mouse. Under the hood the app pairs Tauri/Rust and Monaco with DuckDB-backed caching and virtual scrolling to actually browse 100k+ rows smoothly, and it uses the OS keychain for credentials instead of a config file.
