## 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.
|
|
- **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.

|
<summary>View the full changelog</summary>
|
|
|
|
- **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.

## Why Gridline vs the alternatives?
|
|
|
|
Capabilities below are fact-checked against each vendor's official docs and pricing (May 2026).
|
|
|
|
| Capability | DB Pro (Free) | Beekeeper (Free) | TablePlus (Free) | Gridline |
|
|
| :----------------------------- | :---------------------------: | :-------------------------------: | :----------------------------------: | :-----------------------------------------------------------------: |
|
|
| 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** |
|
|
| ER diagram / schema visualizer | ✅ view-only | ❌ paid only | ❌ | **✅ React Flow + dagre** |
|
|
| SSH tunneling | ❌ paid only | ✅ | ✅ | **✅ Password + key auth, keychain** |
|
|
| OS credential vault | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | **Keychain / Secret Service / Credential Manager** |
|
|
| Workspace / folder hierarchy | ✅ query/dash folders + tags | ✅ (5.7+, local) | ❌ | **Multi-level tree + tags** |
|
|
| Changes queue (stage → commit) | ❌ | ✅ Apply/Discard | ✅ Safe mode | **✅ Queue → Commit All** |
|
|
| 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://github.com/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases) page.
|
|
|
|
> ⚠️ Gridline is under active development. Expect rough edges and please [open issues](https://github.com/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. 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:
|
|
|
|
- **macOS:** right-click the app → **Open** → **Open** (or System Settings → Privacy & Security → **Open Anyway**). Do this once per version.
|
|
- **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 (**v0.7.7**):

| Your system | Download this | Notes |
|
|
| :------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| macOS **Apple Silicon** (M1/M2/M3/M4…) | [Gridline_0.7.7_aarch64.dmg](https://github.com/AdrianBonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.7/Gridline_0.7.7_aarch64.dmg) | `aarch64` = Apple's own chip |
|
|
| macOS **Intel** | [Gridline_0.7.7_x64.dmg](https://github.com/AdrianBonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.7/Gridline_0.7.7_x64.dmg) | `x64` = Intel/AMD |
|
|
| **Windows** (most PCs) | [Gridline_0.7.7_x64-setup.exe](https://github.com/AdrianBonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.7/Gridline_0.7.7_x64-setup.exe) | The `.msi` is an alternate installer (for enterprises/IT admins) |
|
|
| **Debian / Ubuntu** | [Gridline_0.7.7_amd64.deb](https://github.com/AdrianBonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.7/Gridline_0.7.7_amd64.deb) | Install: `sudo apt install ./Gridline_0.7.7_amd64.deb` |
|
|
| **Fedora / RHEL / openSUSE** | [Gridline-0.7.7-1.x86_64.rpm](https://github.com/AdrianBonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.7/Gridline-0.7.7-1.x86_64.rpm) | Install: `sudo dnf install Gridline-0.7.7-1.x86_64.rpm` |
|
|
| **Any other Linux** | [Gridline_0.7.7_amd64.AppImage](https://github.com/AdrianBonpin/gridline/releases/download/v0.7.7/Gridline_0.7.7_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 v0.7.7
|
|
git push origin v0.7.7
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
GitHub Actions (`.github/workflows/release.yml`) builds installers for **Apple Silicon, Intel Macs, Windows, and Linux**, then opens a **draft release** on the [Releases](https://github.com/adrianbonpin/gridline/releases) page — review it and hit **Publish release**.
|
|
|
|
Before tagging, make sure the version number is in sync across `package.json`, `src-tauri/Cargo.toml`, and `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://github.com/adrianbonpin/gridline.git
|
|
cd gridline
|
|
|
|
# 2. Install frontend dependencies
|
|
bun install
|
|
|
|
# 3. Run in development mode with hot-reload
|
|
bun run tauri dev
|
|
|
|
# 4. Build for production
|
|
bun run tauri build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### System requirements
|
|
|
|
- **macOS:** 13 (Ventura) or newer
|
|
- **Windows:** 10 or newer
|
|
- **Linux:** Ubuntu 22.04+ or equivalent modern distribution
|
|
- **RAM:** 8 GB recommended
|
|
- **PostgreSQL client tools:** `pg_dump`/`pg_restore`/`psql` are **bundled** with Gridline — no separate install required for backup/restore/sync. (System tools, if installed, are preferred.)

## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
The full plan — next-up (v0.7.7), queue, and shipped history — lives in **[ROADMAP.md](./ROADMAP.md)**.
|
|
|
|
Highlights of what's next:
|
|
|
|
- **Admin follow-up** — PostgreSQL users/roles + grants management, and table maintenance actions (VACUUM / ANALYZE / REINDEX)
|
|
- **Full Redis support** — key browser, type-aware value editors, TTL management
|
|
- **More database types** — MariaDB, TimescaleDB, and friends
|
|
- **Managed DB support** — PlanetScale, Turso (Supabase/Neon presets shipped in v0.7.0)
|
|
- **AI integration (BYOK)** — natural-language → SQL, chat, summaries, charts
|
|
|
|
✅ **[View the full roadmap →](./ROADMAP.md)**

## Contributing
|
|
|
|
Contributions, bug reports, and feature ideas are welcome. Gridline is Apache 2.0-licensed and intentionally stays open — no paywalled tiers, no bundled proprietary services.
|
|
|
|
- Report a bug via the **[issue template](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md)** — it walks you through environment details (OS, Gridline version, DB type/version, connection method) so we can reproduce issues quickly. Opening a [new issue](https://github.com/AdrianBonpin/gridline/issues/new) pre-fills the template automatically.
|
|
- Submit a pull request. Keep Tauri commands thin, type IPC boundaries explicitly, and follow the existing Rust/React conventions.
