A fast, native MySQL client for Linux
Connect, browse, query, and compare MySQL schemas in a native Rust window without Electron or a WebView.
What you get
- MySQL 5.7 and 8.x, plus MariaDB compatibility
- Streamed result sets in a virtualized GPU-rendered grid
- Keychain-first credential storage; SSH tunneling lands with the public beta
- Schema diff and DDL generation between environments
- Schema-aware completion for databases, tables, and columns
Why Linux specifically
First-class Linux: Vulkan rendering, Wayland and X11, credentials in the Secret Service API (GNOME Keyring / KWallet). Not a flatpak'd afterthought.
Linux is a first-class target in the same Rust + GPUI codebase as macOS and Windows, rather than a separate browser-based port.

Common questions
Is Zolt a native MySQL client on Linux?
Yes. Zolt is written end-to-end in Rust on GPUI and renders through Vulkan on Linux — no Electron, no WebView. Credentials are stored in Secret Service (GNOME Keyring / KWallet).
Does Zolt work with MariaDB?
Yes — Zolt's MySQL engine speaks the MySQL wire protocol, which covers MariaDB and compatible managed services like PlanetScale and RDS MySQL.
When can I download Zolt for Linux?
Download the current Linux build from zoltdb.com/download. Versioned builds are published from GitHub Releases so you can choose the newest build or an older one inside your update window.
