Open source lightweight PostgreSQL client built with Tauri (crossed 200⭐)

I’ve been trying to move more of my workflow toward self-hosted and open source tools.

One thing that always felt “heavier than necessary” was database clients.

So I started building Tabularis — an open source PostgreSQL desktop client built with Tauri instead of Electron.

The focus is:

- lightweight footprint

- fast startup

- clean UX

- no unnecessary bloat

- fully open source

It recently crossed 200+ stars, and I’m trying to shape it around real-world usage rather than feature overload.

If you self-host your infrastructure:

👉 What matters most to you in a database client?

Performance? Transparency? No telemetry? Simplicity?

Happy to get honest feedback.
