Tried a few tools. Beekeeper was the only one that I found that felt right. Most had a very 1990’s feel to them - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Allan

A Truly Cross-Platform SQLite GUI Client

Beekeeper Studio has 100% feature parity across Linux, MacOS, and Windows. So no matter which operating system you work (or play) from, you can query and edit SQLite with all of our features, no compromises. We use a cross-platform app development framework to make sure that you get the best SQLite GUI client experience, regardless of whether you use MacOS, Windows, or Linux.

Beekeeper Studio also works great on Chromebooks, Raspberry Pi 3 , and maybe even the odd toaster or fridge (if they run Linux).

Beekeeper Studio was perfect when I began using all three major OSes regularly. -

All Purchases Support Open Source

Beekeeper Studio is built by me, Matthew Rathbone and a small team of part-time developers. We build software we care about. We're not part of a big corporation, and we don't have a large investor in the background writing checks. Unlike many of our well-funded competitors, we make a large part of Beekeeper Studio open source, and we also publish a generous Community Edition. We're on a mission to make good software available to everyone. Every purchase supports open source, and our mission.

I hope you enjoy using Beekeeper Studio as much as I enjoy making it.
