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.

Am I misunderstanding something? How is this "Everything runs locally" if it's talking to OpenAI's APIs?

This app is using OpenAI via the ai package[0][1], so "Everything runs locally" is definitely misleading.
