What is DearSQL?

DearSQL is a fast, native desktop SQL client for SQLite, DuckDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, Oracle, MSSQL, Cassandra, and Redshift. Built in modern C++ with ImGui, it runs natively on macOS, Linux, and Windows — no Electron, no bloat, no compromises.

Why we built it

Most SQL clients are either bloated Electron apps that eat hundreds of megabytes of RAM, or legacy tools stuck in the past. We wanted something that starts instantly, feels snappy on every keystroke, and treats your machine with respect.

What makes it different

• - Native performance — built in C++20 with direct database driver APIs. No JavaScript runtime.
• - One app, many databases — connect to SQL and NoSQL backends from a single unified interface.
• - Secure by default — TLS/SSL support for every backend, SSH tunneling via the system ssh binary, and encrypted credential storage at rest.
• - AI agents — run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor or Google Antigravity inside the app, or use your own API key. The agent can read your schema, run read-only queries, and make changes only after you approve them.
• - Privacy-first — no usage analytics, no tracking. Only crash reports are sent (details); your credentials never leave your machine.

Pricing

DearSQL is free to use with up to 10 saved connections and 2 workspaces. The Pro tier is a one-time purchase with unlimited connections and workspaces — no subscriptions, no recurring fees.
