   SnapQL – Desktop app to query Postgres with AI▲104

   SnapQL is an open-source desktop app (built with Electron) that lets you query your Postgres database using natural language. It’s schema-aware, so you don’t need to copy-paste your schema or write complex SQL by hand. Everything runs locally — your OpenAI API key, your data, and your queries — so it's secure and private. Just connect your DB, describe what you want, and SnapQL writes and runs the SQL for you.

    DB Pro – A Modern Desktop Client for Postgres, MySQL, SQLite and LibSQL▲33

    Hi HN, Over the past few months I've been building DB Pro with my co-founder. DB Pro is a modern desktop database GUI client designed to make working with Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, libSQL and other engines feel fast, visual, and enjoyable. Our focus has been on the dev-experience. We wanted to absolutely nail the UX and look and feel as we believe most db clients aren't friendly to work with. Some features: Visual change review – See pending inserts/updates/deletes before committing them. Inline data editing – Edit table rows directly without clunky modal dialogs. Raw SQL editor – A…

    Queryline▲19

    I got tired of switching between one tool for PostgreSQL, another for MySQL, and the Firebase console for Firestore. So I built Queryline — a single, keyboard-driven database client that handles both SQL and NoSQL in one interface. The features I'm most proud of: CMD+K everywhere - Jump between connections, tables, recent queries, or export formats without touching the mouse. It's the workflow I always wanted: hit a shortcut, type, done. SQL + Firestore, unified - Query your PostgreSQL database and browse Firestore collections in the same app. Same keyboard shortcuts, same export formats…
