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 the most underserved desktop for database GUIs — TablePlus barely ships there, DataGrip costs a JetBrains subscription, and most of the rest is Electron. A native GPU-rendered client on Linux is Zolt's home-field advantage.

Common questions

Is Zolt a native SQLite 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).

Is Zolt free for SQLite?

Yes. SQLite (and Postgres) are included in Zolt's free Community tier — one connection, two tabs, five saved queries, for personal use.

When can I download Zolt for Linux?

Zolt is in private pre-alpha; the public beta for macOS, Windows, and Linux is planned within roughly 12 weeks. Join the waitlist at zoltdb.com/download to get the Linux build the day it ships.
