    General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score

    From the README

    A fast, native, cross-platform, multi-engine database client. Written in Rust with GPUI, no Electron and no JVM: instant startup, friendly on your memory, and smooth scrolling through large tables where other clients crash or introduce limits.

    Early days. Everything listed below works today.

    I wanted something which is performant, modern and consumes little ram. The existing DB clients are either filled with bloat (Electron and JVM) or paid. This is an alternative to them. No feature is ever going behind a paywall and with time we will have complete parity on features with those too.

    macOS (Apple Silicon, macOS 12 or later):

    Don't skip the second line: the app isn't notarized, so macOS won't open it until the quarantine flag is cleared.

    Linux (x86_64 or aarch64): yay -S dbdelve-bin from the AUR, or the tarball or AppImage from the latest release.

    Windows (x86_64): unzip the zip from the latest release and run dbdelve.exe.

    Updating, the .dmg, Linux requirements, building from source and where your data lives are all in docs/install.md.
