Show HN: DB Pro – A Modern Desktop Client for Postgres, MySQL, SQLite and LibSQL

https://www.dbpro.app/
33•upmostly•2mo ago
Hi HN,

Over the past few months I've been building DB Pro with my co-founder. DB Pro is a modern desktop database GUI client designed to make working with Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, libSQL and other engines feel fast, visual, and enjoyable.

Our focus has been on the dev-experience. We wanted to absolutely nail the UX and look and feel as we believe most db clients aren't friendly to work with.

Some features:

Visual change review – See pending inserts/updates/deletes before committing them.

Inline data editing – Edit table rows directly without clunky modal dialogs.

Raw SQL editor – A focused editor for running queries with results in separate tabs.

Full activity logs – Track everything happening in your database for peace of mind.

Visual schema explorer – See tables, columns, keys, and relationships in a diagram.

Tabs & multi-window support – Keep multiple connections and queries open at once.

Custom table tagging – Organise your tables without altering the schema.

Tech stack: Electron, React, tRPC, Drizzle ORM, Postgres/MySQL/libSQL/SQLite support, and native builds for macOS at the moment with Windows, and Linux coming very soon.

We're super passionate about this project and we're actually documenting our journey through devlogs. The latest one is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T4GcJuV1rM

Thanks, Jay and Jack

Question comes to mind; Why is Postgres supported but neon coming soon?
upmostly•2mo ago
Great question! Postgres is supported right away because it behaves like a standard, direct database connection. But with services like Neon and Supabase, there are extra nuances we want to handle properly.

We want Neon, Supabase, and similar cloud providers to feel like first-class citizens inside DB Pro and not just “another Postgres connection”. Each of them has their own quirks, authentication flows, and connection requirements. For example, Supabase actually needs a paid IPv4 add-on if you want to connect to it in the traditional way, which isn’t obvious to most users.

So instead of lumping them in as generic Postgres connections, we’re building dedicated flows that understand these details and make the whole experience seamless. That’s why they’re marked as “coming soon”. We’re doing them properly.

It all goes back to our UX first philosophy to build the absolute best experience.

Hi guys,

Great to see something fresh in this space. Good luck!

We are building something fairly similar but haven't launched yet. Competition will make all of us do a better job.

upmostly•2mo ago
Agreed! The more competition, the merrier. Good luck to you guys!

How can I trust this tool not to leak my data to third parties?
upmostly•2mo ago
We just wouldn't do that in a million years.

Our goal is to build the best DB client around, and one aspect of that is building trust. We haven't even added user analytics tracking into the product.

atmanactive•2mo ago
So, if I would connect to a local server on my LAN, my firewall should show zero internet traffic from DB Pro?
upmostly•2mo ago
Without a doubt, 100%. In fact, you can use it offline if you want. We only make network requests when authorising user accounts. But even then you don't need to create an account. You can just use the free version offline.

It's a no for me. I don't want a subscription. Charge whatever you need, give us 1y of updates, charge next year for an upgrade. Do not pull folks into yet another subscription.
figassis•2mo ago
To add a little bit to this and why I am so principled against this. I will subscribe to a service, because a service means ongoing work. If you spent months or years building software, and have finished it, charge people what you believe is fair for the work you did up to now. Charge $50, charge $500, your call, sell to 1M people, your call. You have no running costs, you're just selling an app.

If you were running this on some cloud, maybe had some other extras built in that cost you time and money, then there could be a subscription.

If you want to keep your software updated, and are pushing updates daily, weekly, monthly, etc, I could squint at a subscription, but I would rather you just do critical fixes (bc if your product is broken you do owe paying customers a fix without a charge), and put new features in a new version that you will also sell.

People are selling git clients, calculators, db clients on subscription. it's crazy what the world has come to. We don't work to pay you guys rent.

The second I saw this app I was about to click buy (looking for a table plus alternative), went to pricing, saw subscription and immediately dropped it without even trying the free version.

upmostly•2mo ago
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’ve heard this feedback loud and clear from a lot of people, and we completely understand where you’re coming from.

We’re about to introduce a one time purchase option that includes a full year of updates. No subscription required. This will be available later this coming week.

Really appreciate you checking out the project and pushing us to make the right call for our users. Stay tuned.

figassis•2mo ago
Really appreciate you listening, looking forward to taking another look
stevenicr•2mo ago
So glad you posted this comment. Exact thoughts here and you saved me from exploring / wasting time.
etht3x•2mo ago
looks very unified and modern, thank you for the effort but have 2 question: 1. do you consider a feature as a carrier of dbt and apply to different db 2. is there a way to cross query between db sorry i know this might went too far
japborst•2mo ago
Love this! Finally something happening in this space. dbeaver was the best, but it's so so ugly and old. I love Datagrip, but no free version.

Please have good formatting of SQL queries - like Datagrip. Very little open source SQL formatters out there, so might require something custom.

And very much waiting for Snowflake support (incl. OAuth)
