d7s

A TUI database client for PostgreSQL and SQLite, built in Rust with Ratatui and inspired by k9s.

Why

After discovering k9s, I thought it had the perfect format for a database client and I wanted something simpler than the established solutions.

Features

• Multi-db Support — currently supports PostgreSQL and SQLite, with more to come!
• Connection management — save, edit, and delete named connections.
• Credential storage — passwords are stored in the platform keyring (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux Secret Service), or never saved and prompted everytime.
• Database traversal — navigate databases, schemas, tables, columns, and row data with keyboard-driven menus, supports vim.
• SQL executor — run arbitrary SQL queries and view results as a table.
• Environment tagging — label each connection as dev, staging, or prod.

Install

crates.io

Requires Rust stable (1.91.0 or later).

cargo install d7s

The d7s binary will be placed in $CARGO_HOME/bin (usually ~/.cargo/bin), which should already be on your PATH.

Building from source

Requires Rust stable (1.91.0 or later).

cargo build --release

The binary will be at target/release/d7s.

Nix

A flake.nix is provided. Enter the development shell:

nix develop

Then use just for common tasks (just --list).

Usage

If installed via cargo install, just run:

d7s

Or, if built from source:

cargo run --release
# or, after building:
./target/release/d7s
