A fast, native SQLite client for Linux
Open a local .db or .sqlite file and browse it instantly — SQLite support ships in the free Community tier. No server setup, no import wizard, no Electron tax for a 50 KB file.
What you get
- Open local SQLite 3.x files directly — no import step
- Full query editor with schema-aware completion
- GPU result grid for large tables and full-table scans
- Free on the Community tier, including commercial-adjacent personal use
- Safe by default: WAL-aware, read-only mode for production copies
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.
