ZQLZ is a native database IDE built with Rust and GPUI, focused on local-first SQL work. Instead of switching between a terminal client, a heavyweight Electron app, and ad-hoc scripts, ZQLZ gives you a single native window to browse schemas, write SQL, inspect results, and design tables.
Yes. ZQLZ is free to download and use today, with no account required for local database work.
ZQLZ's source is available on GitHub. ZQLZ is early-stage and a formal open-source license hasn't been announced yet — check the repository for the current terms before relying on it.
ZQLZ builds for macOS (10.15 or later), Windows (10 or later), and Linux. Visit the download page for the current builds.
ZQLZ ships two channels:
ZQLZ is written in Rust and rendered with GPUI, a GPU-accelerated UI framework. That combination is what makes a native, responsive workspace possible for tasks like browsing large schemas and paging through big result sets without the overhead of a browser-based shell.
Yes. The zqlz CLI lists and manages saved connections, runs queries, reads schema and query history, and reports the status of a running ZQLZ window.
Not yet. An extension API for community-built drivers and workflow extensions is on the roadmap, but it hasn't shipped.
SQLite is fully functional today: open any .sqlite, .db, or .db3 file directly from disk, no server or credentials required, with schema browsing, a schema-aware SQL editor, results, the table designer, and import/export.
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Turso, DuckDB, ClickHouse, MongoDB, and Redis are supported too. MongoDB and Redis get their own document and key browsers instead of the SQL schema tree. See the databases page for what each driver covers.
The current focus is depth rather than new engines: visual EXPLAIN graphs and table designer support for SQL Server, DuckDB, and ClickHouse, plus server monitoring. Check the roadmap for up-to-date status.
No. ZQLZ is local-first — local database work, including everything SQLite supports today, doesn't require an account.
Hosted sync is a planned, optional feature for encrypted backup of connections, settings, snippets, and other convenience data across devices. It hasn't shipped, and local workflows will continue to work without an account once it does.
ZQLZ's core workflow is local-first: your connections and query results stay on your machine. There is no requirement to send data to a server to browse a schema, run SQL, or view results.
