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 use under the two-tab limit
- WAL-aware handling and read-only workflows where supported
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.
