SkylerX

SkylerX is a free desktop application for browsing and managing databases, positioned as an alternative to commercial tools like Navicat or DBeaver. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux and is built using Electron, which packages a web-style interface into a native desktop app.

The tool connects to a wide range of databases. On the SQL side it supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, SQLite, DuckDB, ClickHouse, and Snowflake, among others. It also supports non-relational databases including MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch. You can write and run queries in a code editor with syntax highlighting, view results in a scrollable grid, edit data directly, and visualize query output as charts.

Beyond basic querying, SkylerX includes tools for inspecting and modifying database structure: a visual table designer, an ER diagram viewer, schema comparison between two databases, and a backup and restore wizard that does not depend on external utilities like mysqldump. There is a built-in AI assistant that connects to providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, or DeepSeek and can help write queries, explain database structures, suggest optimizations, and translate SQL between different database dialects.

The project is developed by a company in China and is still in active pre-release development. The README cautions that it has not been fully tested in production environments and recommends backing up databases before using any features that write or modify data. Downloads are available as desktop installers through GitHub releases.
