Built by developers, for developers
Open DB Studio started as a frustration project — tired of slow, expensive, and bloated database clients. We set out to build something fast, clean, and genuinely free.

Our Mission
Make database management fast, simple, and free
We believe every developer — solo indie hacker, startup team, or enterprise engineer — deserves professional-grade database tooling without a $500/year subscription.
Open DB Studio's core is free forever. We charge only for advanced features that power users need, keeping the fundamentals accessible to everyone.
What We Stand For
Our values
Speed First
Every interaction should feel instant. We optimize relentlessly so you never wait on your tools.
Privacy by Design
Your database credentials and data never leave your machine. We build local-first, always.
Simplicity
Powerful features shouldn't mean complex UIs. We cut everything that doesn't serve the developer.
Open & Accessible
The free tier is genuinely free. Great tooling shouldn't be locked behind expensive subscriptions.
Our Journey
How we got here
Idea born — tired of slow, expensive DB clients
v0.1 internal alpha — MySQL & PostgreSQL support
v1.0.1 public launch — 12+ databases, Windows
Growing with the community — more platforms coming
The Team
Who we are
Open DB Studio Team
We are a small, focused team of developers and product engineers who got tired of slow, expensive, and overcomplicated database clients. So we built our own.
Every feature in Open DB Studio is shaped by real frustrations we faced day-to-day — connecting to databases, browsing schemas, editing rows, running queries. We build what we wish existed, and we ship it free.
Obsessed with performance
Privacy-first mindset
