Connect from laptops, desktops, or other devices on your network using any Arrow Flight SQL client — including JDBC, ADBC (Go, Python, C++), ODBC, and Node.js drivers.

Features include syntax highlighting, box-drawing table output, query timing, and automatic result pagination for large datasets. DATA BROWSER Explore your database visually. Navigate catalogs, schemas, and tables. View column names, types, and constraints. Preview data and manage tables — all without writing a query. KEY FEATURES - DuckDB and SQLite database backends - Arrow Flight SQL protocol for high-performance columnar data transfer - Automatic TLS encryption with self-signed certificates - Username/password authentication with JWT session tokens - Configurable query timeout, logging, and init SQL commands - Export database files via the Files app — copy to iCloud Drive, AirDrop, or any sharing method - Real-time server logs with color-coded severity levels - Active session monitoring BUILT FOR ANALYTICS DuckDB is an analytical database engine optimized for complex queries over large datasets. Combined with Arrow Flight SQL's columnar transport, GizmoSQL delivers fast query results whether you're running TPC-H benchmarks or exploring real-world data on the go.
