Built for analysts
You have deadlines. Your database tool should help you meet them, not slow you down with bloated interfaces and endless loading screens.
No more staring at splash screens. QuackDB opens the moment you click it. Your query runs before Java tools finish loading.
No cloud accounts. No telemetry. Credentials encrypted by your OS. Your database, your machine, your business.
Open a table in one click. Run a query in two. No hunting through 47 menu options to find what you need.
Every query you run is saved. Search, reuse, and undo. Never lose that perfect query you wrote last week.
Sound familiar?
There's a better way.
Waiting 10 seconds for your SQL client to start. Clicking through endless menus just to run a simple query. Watching your laptop fan spin up because a database tool needs 1GB of RAM to sit idle.
Legacy SQL Tools
"It takes forever to start"
10+ seconds staring at a splash screen. You could brew coffee in the time it takes DBeaver to load.
"Where's the query window?"
A thousand buttons and switches that get in the way. 7 clicks just to open a table.
"Why is my laptop fan spinning?"
500MB-1GB of RAM just to sit idle. Java-based tools treat your hardware like it's unlimited.

Questions? Answered.
The stuff people usually ask before downloading. Still curious? Drop me a message below.
No catch. The free version gives you SQLite support, unlimited tabs, query execution, data editing, and CSV/TXT exports. The only limit is one active connection at a time. We make money when power users upgrade to Pro for more databases and features.
You keep access until your current billing period ends. No immediate cutoff. After that, you're back on the free plan with all your data intact. We don't hold your data hostage.
Your data never leaves your machine. QuackDB is local-first - it works without an internet connection. Your database credentials are encrypted using your operating system's secure storage (macOS Keychain). We have zero access to your databases, queries, or data. Period.
DBeaver runs on Java, which requires loading the entire Java Virtual Machine before anything happens. QuackDB is built natively, so it launches instantly without that overhead. The difference is night and day.
Free: SQLite (local files) with 1 active connection. Pro: SQLite, PostgreSQL (including Supabase), MySQL, and SQL Server with unlimited simultaneous connections.
Yes. QuackDB runs on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs. We automatically detect your chip and give you the right download. Windows and Linux are on the roadmap.
TablePlus limits free users to 2 connections and 2 tabs. QuackDB free gives you unlimited tabs with 1 active connection, and no annoying upgrade prompts while you work. Both have clean interfaces, but we think ours stays out of your way better.
Free: CSV and TXT exports. Pro adds JSON, SQL, PDF, Markdown, and JPEG exports for schema diagrams. Export your entire table or just the filtered results.
Free: SQLite, 1 connection, unlimited tabs, query execution, inline editing, CSV/TXT exports, schema viewer. Pro adds: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, unlimited connections, query history, data visualization, saved queries, bulk operations, advanced exports, and priority support.
