Adjust the theme and primary color to your liking. Security and transparency: SmartQuery is open source and 100% local—no accounts, no subscriptions, no cloud. When handling credentials and table data, there is no room for compromise. Here's how we keep things secure and private: - 100% local: SmartQuery runs entirely on your device. Credentials, connections, queries, and all data stay local. There is no cloud—no accounts, no syncing—so your database access never leaves your machine. - Your credentials, your device: Connection details and credentials are stored only on your device. Nothing is uploaded to our servers because we don't store user data—everything stays under your control. - Need-to-know basis: Your data is never stored or logged by us. When you use AI features, only the minimum necessary data (e.g. schema information) is sent to the AI provider—row data is never sent. - Web best practices: Data is always transferred via HTTPS and protected from man-in-the-middle attacks. The web app is protected against XSS and XSRF attacks and other web vulnerabilities.
