sqlit

sqlit is a keyboard-first terminal UI that lets you connect to, browse, and query SQL databases quickly without relying on heavyweight GUI clients. It positions itself as a “lazygit-style” experience for databases, aiming for fast startup, intuitive navigation, and developer-friendly workflows directly inside your terminal. The tool supports a wide range of database providers, so you can use one interface across local databases, remote servers, and cloud-hosted instances rather than juggling multiple clients. It includes a connection manager so you can save connections and switch between them without constantly retyping CLI arguments or connection strings. For querying, it emphasizes productivity features like syntax highlighting, searchable query history, and vim-style keybindings so power users can move fast. For exploring data at scale, it can load and inspect very large result sets and provides filtering and fuzzy search to find rows and values efficiently.
