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 focused editor for running queries with results in separate tabs.

Full activity logs – Track everything happening in your database for peace of mind.

Visual schema explorer – See tables, columns, keys, and relationships in a diagram.

Tabs & multi-window support – Keep multiple connections and queries open at once.

Custom table tagging – Organise your tables without altering the schema.

Tech stack: Electron, React, tRPC, Drizzle ORM, Postgres/MySQL/libSQL/SQLite support, and native builds for macOS at the moment with Windows, and Linux coming very soon.

We're super passionate about this project and we're actually documenting our journey through devlogs. The latest one is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T4GcJuV1rM

Thanks, Jay and Jack

How can I trust this tool not to leak my data to third parties?

We just wouldn't do that in a million years.

Our goal is to build the best DB client around, and one aspect of that is building trust. We haven't even added user analytics tracking into the product.

So, if I would connect to a local server on my LAN, my firewall should show zero internet traffic from DB Pro?

Without a doubt, 100%. In fact, you can use it offline if you want. We only make network requests when authorising user accounts. But even then you don't need to create an account. You can just use the free version offline.
