Post Description

Hi HN,

Tablething is a cross-platform, local-first database client built with Tauri. It currently connects to 13 data sources including Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, ElasticSearch, with more on the way.

Everything runs locally - nothing is sent to our servers. There are optional AI features that you can use with your own API key and data is directly sent to the provider.

I built it because I wanted a tool to save my queries, visualize the data from different sources and have agentic chat the way I wanted. It's free, and I plan to open-source the core once it's stable.

Would love any feedback: https://tablething.com
