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.

Common questions

Is Zolt a native Postgres client on Windows?

Yes. Zolt is written end-to-end in Rust on GPUI and renders through DirectX 12 on Windows — no Electron, no WebView. Credentials are stored in Windows Credential Manager.

Which Postgres versions does Zolt support?

Postgres 9 through 16, including managed services that speak the Postgres wire protocol (RDS, Cloud SQL, Supabase, Neon).

When can I download Zolt for Windows?

Download the current Windows 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.
