The SQL editor that feels as good as it works
Connect to MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and SQLite โ on your own server or in the cloud โ through one fast, beautiful, skinnable interface.
Shareware โ test for free, without time limit, for personal use.
Why NikSQL
Stop juggling a different client for every server. NikSQL brings every database into one calm, fast workspace.
Four engines, one interface
MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL and SQLite share a single consistent workflow โ nothing to relearn per server.
Native speed
The engine is written in Rust on sqlx, so browsing, editing and importing stay instant even on large tables.
Remote-ready
SSH tunnelling, SSL/TLS modes and an initial-database field make hosted and cloud servers as easy as local ones.
Compressed dumps
Export and import as NikPak (.nik), Zip or plain SQL โ with a compression level and an optional password.
A joy to look at
55 skins with live preview, 20 languages and Chrome-style zoom let you make the editor truly yours.
Mouse and keyboard
Sortable, resizable grids, a right-click menu everywhere, and a shortcut for every frequent action.
See it in action
From connection to query in seconds.
