DataZen: a 10 MB open-source database client built with Tauri and Rust

DataZen is a free, MIT-licensed desktop app for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Redis.

Why another client?

• TablePlus is great but paid for many teams
• DBeaver is powerful but heavy on RAM and startup time

DataZen targets daily dev work: connect, browse, run SQL, export — in a <10 MB installer.

Stack

• Tauri v2 + Rust backend (sqlx, redis, russh for SSH)
• React + CodeMirror 6 frontend
• Credentials encrypted locally (AES-256-GCM)

Features

• Multi-window workflow
• Built-in SSH tunnels (no local ssh binary)
• SQL editor with table/column autocomplete
• Virtual scrolling for large tables
• Backup to SQL, CSV/JSON import/export
• PG ↔ MySQL schema + data sync
• Redis key browser
• Dark theme, English + Chinese UI

Status

Early v0.0.3, but I use it as a daily driver for SQL + Redis.
