Over the past year I’ve been building a lot of products on PostgreSQL and kept needing a very simple way to quickly inspect tables, run queries, and sanity-check data without opening a heavy database client.

So I built a small tool for myself called Fakebase - a lightweight PostgreSQL browser for local and dev databases.

I’ve been using it daily for a while now, and a couple of colleagues started using it too, which made me think it might be useful for others.

So I cleaned it up a bit and decided to share it.

Curious if others run into the same problem, or what tools people here prefer for this workflow.
