- 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 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.
