v1.0 Launch Special: Lifetime License

Stop Suffering Through

Legacy Database Tools

The Supabase-grade UI you crave, now self-hosted for your own databases. No subscriptions. No data lock-in. Just pure SQL joy.

• Self-Hosted
• One-time Payment
• 6 Database Engines
• No Telemetry

Why does managing a modern database

feel like using Windows 98?

You write modern React/Next.js code all day, then switch to a database tool that takes 30 seconds to load. It breaks your flow.

THE OLD WAY

Legacy Clients

• Clunky UI: Hundreds of buttons you never use.
• Slow: Native apps (Java/Electron) that eat RAM.
• Dangerous: Nothing stops you from running DROP TABLE in prod.

THE CLOUD TRAP

SaaS Platforms

• Vendor Lock-in: Hard to migrate away later.
• Data Privacy: Your data sits on their servers.
• Recurring Costs: $20/user/mo adds up fast.

AI-Powered (BYOK)

Forget SQL syntax.

Just describe what you need.

Stop Googling “Postgres date difference syntax.” Just tell QueryGlow what you want: “Show me users who haven’t logged in for 30 days.”

Our AI reads your schema and writes the query. Choose between OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or Google Gemini. Use your own API key—no middleman markups.

Bring Your Own KeySchema Only—Data Never Sent

Safe Mode

Sleep soundly.

We block the scary stuff.

Ever dropped a table in production thinking it was dev? Other tools let that happen. QueryGlow has your back with two layers of protection.

Always Blocked (Cannot Disable)

DROP DATABASE, SHUTDOWN, filesystem access (OUTFILE, LOAD_FILE), command execution (xp_cmdshell, COPY PROGRAM)

Blocked by Default (Configurable)

DROP TABLE, TRUNCATE, DELETE/UPDATE without WHERE clause. Enable via env var if you really need them.

Plus: All SELECT queries auto-limited to 1000 rows. No accidental full-table scans.

100% Self-Hosted

Your Data. Your Infrastructure.

Zero Leaks.

QueryGlow runs as a simple Docker container inside your own VPC or on your local machine. We never see your data. No “phoning home.” No third-party cloud risks.

AES-256-GCM

Credential encryption

SSH Tunnels

Built-in, one-click

No Telemetry

Zero tracking

One Command

Developer Experience

Built for how you

actually work.

Every feature designed to minimize clicks and maximize flow.

Production AwarenessProduction DBs get a red banner. Impossible to confuse with dev.

Advanced Filtering9 filter operators: equals, contains, starts with, is null, and more. Combine multiple filters.

Query HistoryEvery query auto-saved. Last 1000 per connection. Never lose that complex JOIN.

Smart CSV ImportThree strategies: insert, upsert, or replace. Auto-detects delimiters. Preview before commit.

Schema ViewerExplore table structure and column details at a glance.

Everything You Need. Nothing You Don’t.

QueryGlow focuses on the 20% of features you use 80% of the time.

AI SQL Generation

OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini. Schema-aware. Your data never sent.

Safe Mode

Blocks DROP DATABASE, prevents mass deletes, auto-limits queries.

SSH Tunnels

Built-in. Paste your private key + passphrase. One-click connect.

6 Databases

PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, CockroachDB, TimescaleDB.

AES-256-GCM

All credentials encrypted at rest. Tamper detection built-in.

CSV Import/Export

Insert, upsert, or replace. Formula injection protection.

Monaco Editor

Same editor as VS Code. Autocomplete, syntax highlighting.

Saved Queries

Name, describe, tag. Build a library of reports.

Inline Editing

Double-click any cell. Edit. Enter to save. No forms.

Hey, I’m Max 👋

Solo developer & kitesurfer

I’m a solo developer who loves kitesurfing and hates pgAdmin.

For years I suffered through the same workflow: open pgAdmin, wait forever, click 47 times to see my data, Google the query syntax, pray it works in production. When something broke on my live site, I’d SSH into my server and type commands in the terminal hoping I didn’t make it worse.

Then I saw this tweet from Simon Høiberg with 500+ likes: “I want Supabase-grade UI but self-hosted. This doesn’t exist. Who’s gonna create it?”

So I did.

Now I fix databases from the beach while waiting for wind. Seriously. 🪁

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before ditching pgAdmin.

You get immediate, permanent read-access to the private QueryGlow GitHub repository.

• Clone the full source code.
• Build your own Docker images.
• Deploy on unlimited servers.
• No license keys, no validation servers, no DRM.

It’s yours. Run it wherever you want.

Yes. QueryGlow is designed with a defense-in-depth security architecture:

• AES-256-GCM encryption for stored credentials (with tamper detection)
• Safe Mode blocks dangerous queries (DROP TABLE, TRUNCATE, mass DELETE) by default
• Network isolation — runs on localhost, only accessible via reverse proxy
• SSH Tunnel support with passphrase protection for remote databases

It runs entirely on your infrastructure (behind your firewall/VPN). Your data never leaves your network.

QueryGlow supports 6 database engines in one unified interface:

• PostgreSQL — replaces pgAdmin
• MySQL — replaces MySQL Workbench
• MariaDB — full MySQL-compatible support
• SQLite — replaces DB Browser for SQLite
• CockroachDB — PostgreSQL-compatible distributed DB
• TimescaleDB — PostgreSQL extension for time-series

No need to switch tools when switching projects.

QueryGlow reads your database schema and lets you describe what you want in plain English. The AI generates the SQL query for you.

Privacy first: Only schema metadata (table/column names) is sent—your actual row data never leaves your server.

No markup fees. You provide your own API key from one of three providers:

• OpenAI (GPT-4o)
• Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet)
• Google (Gemini 1.5 Pro)

You pay the provider directly for exactly what you use (usually pennies per month), instead of paying a $20/mo “AI Tax” subscription.

Yes. Deploy QueryGlow on your company’s internal server (e.g., behind a VPN) and share the URL.

How access works: QueryGlow uses Basic Auth with a single set of credentials. Everyone who needs access shares the same username/password. There’s no per-user login system—it’s designed for simplicity, not enterprise user management.

One license = deploy on unlimited servers.

Safe Mode is a built-in safety feature that’s ON by default. It blocks dangerous queries in the Query Editor:

• DROP TABLE / TRUNCATE
• DELETE / UPDATE without a WHERE clause

You can disable it if needed, but some operations (DROP DATABASE, filesystem access) are always blocked for security.

Since you have access to the repo, you just run git pull to get the latest features and bug fixes. We release updates regularly, and you have lifetime access to the v1.x branch.

Unfortunately, no refunds are available. Because you receive immediate access to the full source code upon purchase, I cannot reverse that access.

That’s why I strongly encourage you to

try the live demo before buying. It’s the full product—take your time, explore every feature, and make sure it fits your workflow.

We encourage you to try the Live Demo first. Because this is a self-hosted product where you get immediate access to the code, we cannot offer refunds once the license is issued. However, we stand by our product and offer priority email support to fix any issues you encounter.
