Database tools we'd want to use ourselves. Most of them open source, all of them built on one foundation.
We make three things.
Two are open source and free: a web-based SQL/NoSQL IDE that runs in your browser, and a small embeddable database engine you can read end to end. The third is LibreDB Platform, a commercial product for teams and enterprises, and it's what pays for the open-source work. So Studio and the engine stay free, and stay maintained.
One foundation, three products. Here's the tour.
A professional database editor that lives in your browser. No install, and it works on a 4K monitor or a phone. It sits between heavy desktop clients and bare CLIs: the power of DataGrip, reachable from a URL.
- AI-native: NL2SQL with your choice of model (Gemini, OpenAI, or a local LLM)
- A real IDE: Monaco engine, schema-aware autocomplete, multi-tab workspace, visual EXPLAIN
- See your schema: interactive ER diagrams, schema diff, migration SQL, snapshot timeline
- SQL and NoSQL: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB, Redis, SQLite
- Enterprise-ready: RBAC, SSO (OIDC), query auditing, Docker & Kubernetes

Multi-model without the magic. One core, three lenses, every line tested.
A small, readable, embeddable database written in TypeScript. Key-value, document, and relational APIs are thin lenses over a single ordered key-value core, not three engines bolted together. Zero runtime dependencies, in-memory or file-backed, with crash recovery proven by deterministic simulation testing.
The kernel is under 600 lines. You can open the source and actually learn how a database works.
bun add @libredb/libredbIt's pre-alpha and aimed at test and dev environments today: small enough to understand, serious enough to grow.

Distributing database credentials by hand doesn't scale, and it isn't safe. Platform replaces that with a managed, multi-tenant workspace: admins decide who can reach which database, every query is logged, and teams collaborate without anyone copy-pasting a connection string.
Built on the same Studio engine, with governance on top: RBAC, encrypted credentials, full query audit, billing and plans. This is the commercial product that funds everything above it.

Start anywhere. Embed the engine in your app, run Studio for your own databases, or bring Platform in when your team needs control and an audit trail.
The open-source projects are built in the open, and we'd love your help.
