v0.2.0
First public release 🎉
Rowbase is a fast, read-only-by-default database client for MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL and SQLite —
with a native macOS app, a one-file app for macOS/Linux/Windows, and a built-in MCP server for AI assistants.
Highlights
- Safe by default — connections are read-only until you switch them; 4 independent safety layers.
- MCP server — let Claude, Cursor, Codex & co. explore and query your databases (read-only unless you allow writes),
token-efficient TOON output, built-in guide, one copy-paste setup prompt. - One file, no installer — no admin rights, no Python, no drivers.
- Native macOS app — foreign-key navigation, inspector, transpose, autocomplete, EXPLAIN, query cancel,
inline editing with SQL preview, export, SSH tunnels, dark mode.
