Platforms

The same native SQLly workbench on the desktops where real database work happens.

SQLly brings the same native workbench to macOS, Windows, and Linux. There is also a clearly labeled browser preview for a quick look before you download anything.

One app, three platforms

Not one app with three coats of paint, and not a webview pretending to be native. The interface is drawn on the GPU through each platform's own graphics path - Metal on macOS, Direct3D 11 with DirectWrite on Windows, Vulkan on Linux - from the same Rust source. Your system fonts, your window behavior, your file dialogs.

macOS, Windows & Linux

What is native on each, what the same-source promise does and does not cover, and the platform-specific details worth knowing.

Live preview

The real app compiled to WebAssembly, running against sample data in a tab. A demo - not a cloud product.

Why not a cloud IDE

Because the job involves credentials to production databases on private networks. A desktop app connects from your machine, using your keychain, your VPN, and your existing network rules - and nothing about your schema or your results has to pass through a third party to get onto your screen. That constraint shapes the rest of the product, so it is worth stating outright.

The engineering behind one source tree serving all of these is in How the app is built.
