I was tired of switching between MySQL clients, so I started building my own (open source)

I work a lot with MySQL (mostly for web projects), and I kept bouncing between different clients depending on what I needed.

Some feel bloated.

Some are too generic.

Some don’t feel optimized for everyday MySQL workflows.

So I started building an open source client focused on:

•	fast query execution

•	clean schema browsing

•	simple UX

•	no unnecessary clutter

It’s still evolving, but I’m actively improving MySQL support and refining the experience.

If you use MySQL daily:
