What you get

  • Open local SQLite 3.x files directly — no import step
  • Full query editor with schema-aware completion

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.

The macOS build shares the same Rust + GPUI codebase and core workflows as the Windows and Linux builds.
