Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Built for one purpose: helping developers quickly understand what's inside their database.

Zero Configuration

Paste a connection string and start exploring immediately. No setup files, no plugin installs, no configuration ceremony.

Schema-First Navigation

Schemas are first-class citizens. Browse connections, expand schemas, and drill into tables from a clean, collapsible sidebar tree.

Five-Tab Table Viewer

Data, Structure, Indexes, Constraints, Query — everything you need to understand a table in one focused interface. Export as CSV or JSON.

Extension-Aware Rendering

Understands pgvector embeddings and PostGIS geometry. Data is rendered meaningfully — not as raw binary blobs or unreadable values.

Interface

See your database clearly.

A focused, no-bloat interface built for speed. Every pixel earns its place.
