A roadmap you can
actually follow.

DBcooper grows along two tracks: a faster workbench and more native adapters. No premium tier, no feature tollbooths.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

A focused tool for developers who would rather query than configure.

01

Multi-database support

PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, and ClickHouse — every engine in one consistent interface. No context-switching between separate apps.

02

Docker database lifecycle

Create persistent PostgreSQL, Redis, and ClickHouse containers or link existing Docker Compose services. Copy credentials, control containers, and keep data by default.

03

Schema visualizer

Interactive ER diagrams render your table relationships automatically. See the shape of your data, not just the rows.

04

AI-powered SQL

Describe what you need in plain English and generate schema-aware SQL with OpenAI-compatible APIs or your local Claude Code, Codex, and opencode CLIs.

05

Command palette

Jump to any table, connection, or action with a keystroke. Keyboard-first, mouse-optional — built for speed.

06

SSH tunnel support

Reach databases behind a bastion securely. Password or private key — configured once, connected instantly.

07

Native & lightweight

Built with Tauri, not Electron. A few megabytes, instant startup, and your credentials never leave the machine.

Frequently
asked.

Short answers about support, privacy, and how DBcooper works.

01 Is DBcooper free?

Yes — completely free and open source. The full source lives on GitHub under the MIT license.

02 Which databases are supported?

PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, and ClickHouse today. More engines are planned for future releases.

03 Can DBcooper create a local database for me?

Yes. With Docker running, DBcooper can create PostgreSQL 17, Redis 7, or ClickHouse 25.8 with a persistent volume and a ready-to-use connection. Quitting the app stops containers it created without deleting their data. You can also link compatible containers from the current Docker context, including Docker Compose services.

04 Does it work on Windows or Linux?

DBcooper is macOS-only for now. Windows and Linux builds are being considered.

05 How do I connect via SSH tunnel?

When adding a connection, enable the SSH tunnel option and provide your SSH host, port, username, and authentication method (password or private key).

06 Is my data secure?

Absolutely. DBcooper runs entirely on your machine — connection credentials and query results never leave your computer, and there's no telemetry.

07 How do I report bugs or request features?

Open an issue on the GitHub repository. All feedback and contributions are welcome.

Open the database.
Skip the ceremony.

Free, open source, and built for Apple Silicon. Latest release
