// about us

A pig, a dream, and a lot of tables

SQLly started the way most good tools do: with frustration. We were tired of bloated database clients that felt designed by a committee that had never written a JOIN. So we built our own — and we put a bespectacled pig on the box because, honestly, why not.

We believe database tools should be fast, friendly, and a little bit fun. Serious enough for production, approachable enough for a Monday morning.

Simple by default. Sensible settings out of the box, power features where you expect them.

Respectful of your machine. Tiny download, low memory, no background nonsense.

Respectful of you. No dark patterns, no upsell walls, no pig-nonsense.
