Built for the part of the day
you'd rather not be debugging.
Every feature earns its place by saving a keystroke, a tab switch, or a trip to the terminal. If it doesn't, it doesn't ship.
Opens in under two seconds.
No splash screen. The binary is small, the IPC layer is thin, and the window appears before you're done alt-tabbing.
Everything is under ⌘K.
Switch connections, open a table, run a query, format SQL, export, activate AI — one input, every action.
Intelligence on your terms.
Bring a key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq — or point at a local Ollama model. The app never brokers your traffic.
- Command palette
- ⌘K opens every action. Switch connections, run queries, jump to tables.
- Monaco editor
- The engine that powers VS Code. Autocomplete, schema-aware lint, format on save.
- Keyboard-first
- Every surface is reachable without the mouse. Shortcuts are discoverable in the palette.
- Inline editing
- Click a cell, change the value, preview the SQL, commit or undo.
- Saved queries
- Bookmark what you keep running. Organize in folders, sync across tabs.
- Query history
- Every executed statement is captured automatically. Search, filter, re-run.
- Cold start under 2s
- No splash, no warmup. Open the app, you're in your last connection.
- Query telemetry
- Wall time, plan time, execute time. Waterfall and P90/P95/P99 benchmark mode.
- Missing index hints
- Catch N+1 patterns and sequential scans. Suggested indexes are copy-pasteable.
- Health monitor
- Active queries, cache hit ratios, locks, table sizes. Kill a stuck query live.
- Column statistics
- One click profiles a column — min, max, avg, null rate, histogram, top values.
- Query plans
- EXPLAIN ANALYZE rendered as a tree, not a wall of text.
- Plain-English to SQL
- Schema-aware. Ask what you want, get a runnable query back.
- Charts from a sentence
- Bar, line, pie, area — generated from your result set.
- Bring your own key
- OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq — or Ollama for a local model. Keys never leave your machine.
- Multi-database
- Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, and SQLite. Same interface across all.
- ER diagrams
- Interactive schema map. Filter to a table and see its graph of relationships.
- CSV import
- Auto column mapping, type inference, batch insert, conflict handling.
- Data generator
- Realistic fake data with Faker.js. FK-aware, preview before insert, up to 100k rows.
- Data masking
- Blur sensitive columns for demos and screenshots. Regex-based auto rules.
- PG notifications
- Subscribe to LISTEN/NOTIFY channels. Real-time event log, send payloads inline.
- Export anywhere
- CSV, JSON, TSV, or copy rows as SQL INSERTs. No wizards.
- SSH tunnels
- Connect through a bastion with password or key auth. Tunnel lifetime tied to the connection.
- Credentials encrypted locally
- Stored with the OS keychain. We never see your passwords or API keys.
- No telemetry
- Zero analytics, zero remote logging. Your queries never leave your machine.
- Dark & light
- Themes follow system preference. Both are designed, not an afterthought.

Yes. All features are unlocked for personal use — no credit card, no time limit, no feature flags. A Pro license is only required to use it commercially inside a for-profit team of two or more.
You bring your own API key. data-peek sends the question and relevant schema to your chosen provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq) — or to a local Ollama model if you want the prompt to never leave your machine.
PostgreSQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and SQLite. Same interface, same shortcuts, same results grid across all four.
Using data-peek at a for-profit company with two or more people, freelancing for clients, or in agency work. Solo founders (company of one) are free.
The source is MIT-licensed on GitHub. You can build it yourself for any purpose. Pre-built signed binaries require a Pro license for commercial use — that's what funds development.
A Pro license includes one year of updates. If you don't renew, the version you have keeps working forever. Renew whenever you want new features.
Yes, including for paid university coursework. DM @gillarohith on X or email gillarohith1@gmail.com for a free license.
Queries run directly from your machine to your database. Credentials live in the OS keychain. There is no telemetry, no usage tracking, no remote logging. For AI, use Ollama locally if you want nothing to leave the box.
Stop babysitting your database client.
Download the free build, run your next query in data-peek, and see if your current tool still deserves a dock icon.
