Base, an SQLite database editor for macOS

In plain words

Base is a native SQLite database editor for macOS designed to provide straightforward database management without the complexity of full IDEs. It simplifies table alterations, which are typically tedious in SQLite, and displays column constraints with detailed visual indicators. The app shows constraints as clickable icons for quick reference and includes support for attaching multiple databases. It targets developers and database administrators who need practical SQLite editing tools.

In the maker’s words, at launch

I recently released v3 of Base, my SQLite editor for macOS. The goal of this app is to provide a comfortable native GUI for SQLite, without it turning into a massive IDE-style app. The coolest features are - That it can handle full altering of tables, which is quite finicky to do manually with SQLite. - It has a more…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
