Every time I needed to check a record in production, I'd SSH into the server and type raw SQL in a terminal. No autocomplete. No schema browser. Just me and a blinking cursor.
I chose SQLite because it's the best database for most web apps. But the moment you deploy, you lose the one thing every other database gives you for free: the ability to connect a GUI tool and actually see your data.
PostgreSQL? Open TablePlus, connect, done. SQLite on a remote server? Good luck. It's 2026 and I'm debugging like it's 1995.
I got tired of it, so I built the thing I wanted.
Remote SQLite sits in your menu bar. Point TablePlus at localhost and browse your remote SQLite database like any other database. Queries come back in about 85 milliseconds. No cloud service. No account. No daemon.
Try it free for a week. Then it's $50. One-time. No subscription. You buy it, you own it.
I built this for myself. Turns out a lot of developers have the same itch.
