A fast, native MySQL client for Windows
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 Windows specifically
A real Win32 application rendering through DirectX 12 — not an Electron shell. Credentials live in Windows Credential Manager; Ctrl-shortcuts follow platform conventions.
The Windows build shares the same codebase, renderer architecture, and core workflows as macOS and Linux.
