For a long time, I searched for a modern database tool that truly fit the way I work.
Not just something that connects to a database, but something that stays out of the way, and feels intuitive to use.
I wanted multiple databases open without mental clutter, a workflow that minimizes context switching, an editor that just makes sense, and a tool that feels like it belongs in 2025 — not 2012.
I couldn’t find it.
So I started building it.
That journey became DB Toolkit — a cross-platform desktop database management application built from frustration and real needs.
What started as “let me fix this small annoyance” turned into:
- Multi-database support (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB)
- A schema explorer that actually helps you understand your data
- A Monaco-powered query editor with history and multiple tabs Workspaces that let me isolate projects and think clearly
- A data explorer that lets you edit, import/export, and preview data effortlessly
DB Toolkit is just getting started.
I’m still learning. Still improving.
