Squeal, the SQL scratchpad that remembers where you left off
A desktop SQL client for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite, with persistent worksheets, database browsing, search, and readable results.
- For
- People juggling PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite
- Worth noticing
- Worksheets persist across sessions, while password encryption uses the operating system keychain only after user consent.
Field notes
Squeal combines persistent worksheets with a database browser, cross-connection search, and result search, keeping unfinished queries available across sessions. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite in one window and provides native packages for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The page shows an editor with completion and formatting, plus OS-keychain password storage that requires user consent. Source code is MIT-licensed, while commercial use of prebuilt binaries requires a separate license.
