VeloxDB

VeloxDB is a fast, memory-efficient, developer-focused desktop client for PostgreSQL. Connect directly to your databases — no cloud, no middleware, no telemetry. Built with performance and productivity at its core.

Why VeloxDB?

• Fast — Native desktop app with Rust-backed connection pooling. Zero latency from cloud proxies.
• Memory-efficient — Virtual scrolling for large result sets. Only loads what you see, so million-row queries stay snappy.
• Developer-focused — Monaco editor (the engine behind VS Code), real-time SQL linting, autocomplete from your schema, keyboard-first design, and a command palette for everything.

Features:

SQL Query Workspace

• Monaco-powered editor with SQL syntax highlighting, autocomplete (table/column/function inference), and configurable fonts
• Multi-tab editing — each tab targets its own connection
• Real-time linting — syntax validated against your actual PostgreSQL server as you type
• Query history with favorites, search, and per-connection filtering
• Results grid with virtual scrolling, inline cell editing, and row insertion/deletion
• EXPLAIN ANALYZE — run and view query plans inline
• Export results to CSV or JSON
• SQL formatting — pretty-print with one keystroke

Visual ER Diagram (Model)

• Interactive canvas to introspect, design, and evolve your schema visually
• Auto-layout — grid, topological, and Dagre-based algorithms
• Drag-and-drop tables from the catalog onto the canvas
• Create relationships by connecting columns between tables
• Inline editing — rename tables, change data types, add/drop columns right on the diagram
• Index, trigger, rule, and RLS policy management from the property inspector
• Undo/Redo — every change is reversible
• Migration preview — review generated DDL before applying to the database
• Export diagrams as PNG or PDF

Connection Management

• Multiple profiles with host, port, database, user, and SSL settings
• SSH tunnel support — connect through a bastion/jump host with key or password auth
• Credentials stored securely in the OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux secret-service)
• Health pings — auto-detect connection drops and reconnect

Developer Experience

• Command palette (Cmd+P / Ctrl+P) — search and invoke any action
• Keyboard shortcuts for everything — run query, format SQL, toggle sidebar, switch tabs
• Light and dark themes with system-follow
• Persistent workspace — your tabs, queries, and diagram positions survive restarts
