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.

This is nice -- we're heavy users of postgresql and haven't found the right tool here yet.

I could see this being incredible if it had a set of performance related queries or ran explain analyze and offered some interpreted results.

Can this be run fully locally with a local llm?
