SQL reporting that Just Works. Fast, simple, and confusion-free. Write and share queries in a delightful SQL editor, with AI assistance.

← Data and databases

In simple English

This tool lets you write and run SQL queries inside a web browser. It plugs into a Django website and turns your database into a simple reporting dashboard. You can share reports with your team without writing extra frontend code. It includes an artificial intelligence helper that writes queries from plain English prompts. You can also upload CSV or JSON files and query them immediately.

What it is

A Django application that provides a web-based SQL editor, schema browser, and query sharing system. It supports multiple database connections and includes scheduled query snapshots and basic charting.

What it is good for

Solo builders who use Django and need to let non-technical team members run reports or query uploaded data without building a custom admin interface.
