What you get
- Open local SQLite 3.x files directly — no import step

- Free on the Community tier, including commercial use under the two-tab limit
- WAL-aware handling and read-only workflows where supported
Why macOS specifically
Apple-silicon native. Renders through Metal — the same path Zed uses — with proper macOS conventions: native menu bar, ⌘-shortcuts, Keychain-stored credentials.
Most native Mac database clients stop at the Mac. Zolt's macOS build is the same Rust + GPUI codebase that ships on Windows and Linux — switch machines, keep your muscle memory.
