## Download
Grab the installer for your OS from the [latest release](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases/latest) — the links below point at the current release (**v0.7.11**):
| OS | Architecture | Download |
| :--------------------------- | :--------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **macOS** | Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4…) | [Gridline_0.7.11_aarch64.dmg](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.11/Gridline_0.7.11_aarch64.dmg) |
| **macOS** | Intel | [Gridline_0.7.11_x64.dmg](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.11/Gridline_0.7.11_x64.dmg) |
| **Windows** | x64 | [Gridline_0.7.11_x64-setup.exe](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.11/Gridline_0.7.11_x64-setup.exe) |
| **Debian / Ubuntu** | amd64 | [Gridline_0.7.11_amd64.deb](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.11/Gridline_0.7.11_amd64.deb) |
| **Fedora / RHEL / openSUSE** | x86_64 | [Gridline-0.7.11-1.x86_64.rpm](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.11/Gridline-0.7.11-1.x86_64.rpm) |
| **Other Linux** | amd64 | [Gridline_0.7.11_amd64.AppImage](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.11/Gridline_0.7.11_amd64.AppImage) |
**macOS via Homebrew** (recommended for Mac users):
```bash
brew install --cask AdrianBonpin/gridline/gridline
# or, after a one-time `brew tap AdrianBonpin/gridline`:
brew install --cask gridline
```
The cask strips the macOS quarantine flag automatically during install, so **no manual `xattr` step is needed** on the Homebrew path — the app just launches. (Direct-DMG downloads still need the [first-launch instructions](#installers-are-unsigned-for-now) below.)
> **macOS first launch:** macOS may say *"Gridline is damaged and can't be opened"* or *"the developer cannot be verified"* — this is expected; the app isn't Developer-ID signed/notarized yet. See the [macOS first-launch instructions](#installers-are-unsigned-for-now) (right-click → Open, or the one-time `xattr` fix). Not sure if your Mac is Intel or Apple Silicon? See [Which file should I download?](#which-file-should-i-download) below.

## What is Gridline?
Gridline is a modern, open-source database GUI client built with [Tauri 2.0](https://tauri.app), Rust, and React. It is lightweight by design (~40 MB baseline), powerful by default, and free from the paywalls that limit commercial alternatives.
- **No caps** on connections, tabs, or saved queries.
- **Deep PostgreSQL tooling** — visual `pg_dump`, `pg_restore`, and DB-to-DB sync.
- **Backup, restore & sync for every database** — PostgreSQL, MySQL (`mysqldump` / bundled MariaDB clients), and SQLite (`.dump`), with direct DB-to-DB sync between live connections.
- **Excel export** — CSV, JSON, SQL, Markdown, and `.xlsx` from any data grid.
- **Cancel long-running queries** — a per-connection cancel button instead of waiting it out or killing the app.
- **SQLite table editor** — the visual Create Table / Edit Table flow now works on SQLite too (`INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT` instead of `serial`).
- **Full MySQL + SQLite browsing** — connect, browse, query, and edit MySQL and SQLite the same way you do PostgreSQL.
- **Full object explorer** — not just tables, but functions, triggers, sequences, enums, extensions, materialized views, and procedures.
- **Interactive ER diagram** — explore relationships visually with crow's-foot cardinality notation.
- **Production-safe editing** — stage INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE changes, review the generated SQL, then commit all at once.
The app ships with a built-in **Gridline Demo (SQLite)** database, so you can explore every feature immediately without setting up a server.
---
## Who is it for?
Gridline is built for developers and small teams who manage multiple database environments:
- **Full-stack developers** switching between local, staging, and production databases.
- **Platform / DBAs** who need `pg_dump`, `pg_restore`, and sync tooling in a native UI.
- **Teams that want native speed** without Electron bloat or seat licenses.

## Recent Changes
View the full changelog
- **v0.7.10** — **Copy connection URL**: from a connection card's ⋮ menu, copy the connection string for use in env vars / other tools — **Copy connection URL** (includes the password, fetched from the OS keychain on demand) and **Copy connection URL (no password)** (safe to share). Builds `postgresql://` / `mysql://` / `sqlite://` / `redis://` strings with percent-encoded credentials and the PG `sslmode` appended; version bump.
- **v0.7.9** — **macOS install/launch fixes**: the app's local store now opens under the OS app-data directory (a cwd-relative `gridline.db` made Finder-launched copies silently exit with a Rust panic before the UI started); macOS bundles are **ad-hoc signed at build time** (`signingIdentity "-"`), replacing the Xcode linker-only signature that macOS treated as unsigned ("damaged and can't be opened", silent Finder refusals) — users now get a standard one-time Gatekeeper prompt (see the [install notes](#installers-are-unsigned-for-now), incl. the `xattr` workaround); **OpenSSL is vendored** into the `ssh2` build so the release no longer depends on a Homebrew OpenSSL path; version bump.
- **v0.7.8** — **SQLite `.dump` backup/restore** plus **backup / restore / sync for MySQL & SQLite** (mysqldump-based, system-first); **Excel (.xlsx) export** in the grid toolbar alongside CSV/JSON/SQL/Markdown; **cancel long-running queries** per connection; **settings export/import** (JSON); **Windows/Linux title bar fix** (macOS-only overlay drag strip); **SQLite table editor** (Create/Edit Table with SQLite-aware type mapping); version bump.
- **v0.7.7** — PostgreSQL **roles & grants** management (create/edit/drop roles with attributes + a per-role privilege explorer across tables/sequences/routines/schemas/databases — collapsible grouped lists with GRANT/REVOKE staging) and **table maintenance** (VACUUM / ANALYZE / REINDEX from the table menu). **Create Table / Edit Table** visual editor: columns grid with type dropdowns and drag-to-reorder, single + composite primary keys, column-diff staging (ADD / DROP / RENAME COLUMN, ALTER TYPE, SET | DROP DEFAULT, SET | DROP NOT NULL — one statement per queue item), atomic column-reorder table rebuild (single transaction, preserves constraints/indexes/FKs/grants/sequences, fail-closed for triggers/RLS/inheritance/partitioning). **FK management** — multi-column composer with cross-schema references and ON DELETE/UPDATE, inlined into CREATE TABLE; **table options** (tablespace, row-level security); changes queue auto-refreshes the object tree after schema-modifying commits; version bump.
- **v0.7.6** — Full PostgreSQL object management (create/edit/drop for enums, functions, procedures, triggers, sequences, extensions, views, materialized views, indexes, constraints) staged through the changes queue with generated-SQL previews; Enable Keychain toggle wired (default ON, opt-out; OFF = session-only); Objects view upgraded to the shared tabbed workspace (object detail tabs with per-type icons, inline manual query + changes queue); ⌘K object search fixes; version bump.
- **2026-08-05:** v0.7.5 — bundled `pg_dump`/`pg_restore`/`psql` (system-first, bundled fallback) so admin features work with no separate install; schema CRUD (create/rename/drop with CASCADE + dependency warning); Cmd+K object search (current schema, all object types); copy-as-DDL for every browsable object type; `pg_depend` object-dependency view shown before destructive drops.
- **2026-08-04:** v0.7.5 — revamped the New Connection screen into a two-stage flow with a 6-provider grid (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Redis, Supabase, NeonDB; managed presets ship with setup guides + SSL hints) and added full MySQL DB viewer support (connect, browse, query, inline cell editing + changes queue, DDL copy).
- **2026-08-04:** Revamped the built-in SQLite demo database with realistic e-commerce data (20 users, 24 products, 50 orders, 100 page views, 500 audit rows) and renamed it to **Gridline Demo (SQLite)**.
- **2026-07-XX:** Added inline cell editing with a stage-first changes queue, row-detail drawer, keyboard navigation, and cell-level copy.
- **2026-07-XX:** Added visual filter builder with drag-and-drop column palette and type-aware operators.
- **2026-07-XX:** Added schema visualizer with React Flow + dagre, crow's-foot notation, and cross-schema FK support.
- **2026-07-XX:** Added query history dropdown, saved queries, and a two-pane Queries view.
- **2026-06-XX:** Added settings redesign with live theme, accent color, font size, editor options, and tag reorder.
- **2026-06-XX:** Added SSH tunneling (password + key auth) and full PostgreSQL TLS runtime for production connections.

| Open tabs | 3 | Unlimited | 2 | **Unlimited** |
| Saved connections | 2 | Unlimited | Unlimited | **Unlimited** |
| Saved queries | 5 | Unlimited | Unlimited | **Unlimited** |
| Data export (CSV, JSON, SQL) | ✅ (unlimited = paid) | Basic only | ✅ | **JSON, CSV, SQL, Markdown** |
| `pg_dump` / `pg_restore` GUI | ❌ | ❌ paid only | ✅ | **First-class UI** |
| DB-to-DB sync | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | **Built-in pipe sync** |
| Object explorer depth | Tables, views, indexes, enums | Tables, views, routines, triggers | Tables, views, functions, procedures | **Functions, Triggers, Sequences, Enums, Extensions + full detail** |

| Desktop shell size | Electron | Electron (~250 MB) | Native | **Tauri 2.0 (~40 MB)** |
| Open source | ❌ | ✅ GPLv3 | ❌ | **✅ Apache 2.0** |
_Notes: DB Pro is an Electron app (launched Nov 2025) whose marketing copy overclaims — its free plan caps connections/tabs/saved queries (FAQ inconsistently claims "unlimited local connections") and gates data imports + SSH tunneling to paid, though CSV/JSON export does work on the free tier; Beekeeper's free Community edition genuinely offers unlimited tabs/connections/queries but gates backup/restore, file import, multi-table export, ERD, AI, and premium DB connectors behind paid tiers; TablePlus's free tier includes every feature but caps you at 2 open tabs / 2 windows / 2 advanced filters._

## Getting Started
### Download a release
Pre-built installers for macOS, Windows, and Linux are published on the [Releases](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases) page.
> ⚠️ Gridline is under active development. Expect rough edges and please [open issues](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/issues/new) when you hit them.
#### Installers are unsigned (for now)
Gridline is currently distributed **unsigned** — it doesn't pay for code-signing certificates yet (macOS builds are *ad-hoc signed*, so they pass Apple Silicon's launch checks but aren't Developer-ID signed or notarized). Your OS will warn you the first time you open it. This is expected — the app is safe, it just hasn't paid the signing fee:
> **Homebrew users:** the [Homebrew cask](#download) strips the quarantine flag automatically during install, so you skip all of the steps below — the app just launches.
- **macOS:** if you see *"Gridline can't be opened because the developer cannot be verified"* (or the app simply won't open from Finder), right-click the app → **Open** → **Open** (or System Settings → Privacy & Security → **Open Anyway**). Do this once per version.
- **macOS — "Gridline is damaged and can't be opened":** remove the quarantine flag macOS attaches to downloaded apps, then launch normally:
```bash
sudo xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Gridline.app
```
(`sudo` is required — some files inside the bundle are read-only, so removing the flag needs admin rights.) Re-run after **every upgrade** — each freshly-downloaded copy gets re-quarantined.
- **Windows:** on the SmartScreen prompt, click **More info** → **Run anyway**.
- **Linux:** no warning — install and run normally.
Code signing **will be added in the future** (Apple Developer Program + a Windows signing cert, e.g. Azure Trusted Signing) — the CI workflow is already wired to pick up the signing secrets automatically the moment they exist, no workflow changes needed.
#### Which file should I download?
Each release contains **one file per platform** — you only need the one that matches your computer. The links below point at the current release (**v0.7.11**):
| Your system | Download this | Notes |
| :------------------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------- |
| macOS **Apple Silicon** (M1/M2/M3/M4…) | [Gridline_0.7.11_aarch64.dmg](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.11/Gridline_0.7.11_aarch64.dmg) | `aarch64` = Apple's own chip |
| macOS **Intel** | [Gridline_0.7.11_x64.dmg](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.11/Gridline_0.7.11_x64.dmg) | `x64` = Intel/AMD |
| **Windows** (most PCs) | [Gridline_0.7.11_x64-setup.exe](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.11/Gridline_0.7.11_x64-setup.exe) | The `.msi` is an alternate installer (for enterprises/IT admins) |
| **Debian / Ubuntu** | [Gridline_0.7.11_amd64.deb](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.11/Gridline_0.7.11_amd64.deb) | Install: `sudo apt install ./Gridline_0.7.11_amd64.deb` |
| **Fedora / RHEL / openSUSE** | [Gridline-0.7.11-1.x86_64.rpm](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.11/Gridline-0.7.11-1.x86_64.rpm) | Install: `sudo dnf install Gridline-0.7.11-1.x86_64.rpm` |
| **Any other Linux** | [Gridline_0.7.11_amd64.AppImage](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.11/Gridline_0.7.11_amd64.AppImage) | Works on every distro: `chmod +x` the file, then double-click it |
**Not sure if your Mac is Intel or Apple Silicon?** Click the **Apple menu** → **About This Mac**. If it shows "Apple M1/M2/M3/M4…" download the `aarch64` file; if it shows an Intel chip, download `x64`. Downloading the wrong one won't run.
#### How releases are made
Cutting a release is one command — CI builds everything. **Releases are cut from `prod`, which is the production branch** — only push release tags from `prod`, never from feature branches:
```bash
git checkout prod && git pull
git tag v0.7.11
git push origin v0.7.11
```
Gitea Actions (`.gitea/workflows/release.yml`) builds the **Linux and Windows** installers on the self-hosted runners, then opens a **draft release** on the [Releases](https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases) page. **macOS is built manually** on the dev Mac and its DMGs uploaded to the same release via `scripts/release-mac.sh`. Review the draft and hit **Publish release**.
Before tagging, make sure the version number is in sync across `desktop/package.json`, `desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml`, and `desktop/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json`, and update the **README download tables** (Download + Which file should I download?) to the new version's asset names.
### Build from source
```bash
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://git.ranio.xyz/adrianbonpin/gridline.git
cd gridline
# 2. Install all workspace dependencies
bun install
# 3. Run in development mode with hot-reload (from desktop/)
cd desktop
bun run tauri dev
# 4. Build for production
