Made for production

Ship to production without fear.

One database client for you, your team, and your business. Free forever for the databases on your own machine — no account and no card needed.

A database client that has your back

The everyday tools of a good GUI, plus the ones you reach for when something is on fire — held to one standard: don't let you break prod by accident.

Query in plain English (Ask)

Describe what you want and AddisDB writes the SQL — readable, editable, and yours to run. No prompt engineering, no copy-paste from a chat window in another tab.

See how it all connects (See)

An entity-relationship view of your database — tables and the foreign keys between them — so you can trace how everything fits together and find what you need.

Migrations you can trust (Ship)

Preview the exact diff before anything runs. AddisDB flags the dangerous parts — dropped columns, rewrites, locks — so a schema change to prod stops being a leap of faith.

Mock data, clearly marked (Fill)

Generate realistic rows to test against, tinted amber so you never mistake them for the real thing. Done testing? Remove every mock row in one click.

  • Live monitoring — Active queries, locks, and connection load as they happen.
  • Alerts — Get told when a metric crosses the line you set.
  • Query history — Every statement you ran, searchable and re-runnable.
  • Notebooks — String queries and notes into a document you can share.
  • Charts — Turn a result set into a chart without leaving the row.
  • Export — Send results out as CSV, JSON, or SQL in a couple of keys.

And it comes with you

The desktop app is the whole of AddisDB, and it is the one to start with — everything is on screen at once and nothing has to be typed from memory. These two carry that work into the places a window will not follow: your editor, and a terminal on a machine you have SSHed into. Each installs on its own, and all three share the same connections, the same encrypted secret store, and the same rules about what is allowed to touch production.

AddisDB for VS Code

Your databases, in the editor you already have open. Browse every connection, schema and table in the sidebar, run the file, the selection or the statement under your cursor, and read the results in a themed grid — without a second window. Live monitoring, migration review and AI with your own key come with it.

  • Sessions open read-only; writing is something you ask for
  • Ask what a statement does before you run it, or test it on a throwaway clone
  • Installs the addisdb command line for you on first run

Connections come from the desktop app or the command line — the extension uses them rather than making its own.

The addisdb command line

A full terminal UI, and a database you can script against. Run addisdb with nothing after it and you get a full-screen terminal UI — browsing, querying and adding connections, over SSH on a box that has no desktop and never will. Give it a subcommand instead and it is something a script can call.

  • Query, explain a plan, profile the slowest statements, apply a .sql file
  • Compare one query across databases and let the exit code fail your CI when they drift
  • Run a saved workflow or an ADBR rating unattended from cron or launchd

Installs and runs on its own — no desktop app required, and connections can be created right in it. Free for the databases on your own machine, exactly like the app: the same check, in the same place.

  • Install the VS Code extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=cenova-spark.addisdb
  • Or, inside VS Code, open Quick Open and run: ext install cenova-spark.addisdb
  • Install the command line on macOS or Linux: curl -fsSL https://www.addisdb.com/install.sh | sh
  • Install the command line on Windows, from PowerShell: irm https://www.addisdb.com/install.ps1 | iex
  • Neither one needs the desktop app: each installs on its own, and all three share the same connections.
