The Freelancer Tool Tax
Every subscription cuts into your profit. Here's what you're dealing with.
Different DBs, Different Tools
Client A uses MySQL. Client B uses Postgres. Client C uses SQLite. You end up with 3 different database tools.
Client Handover Nightmares
Project ends. Now you need to share database access. Do you give them your credentials? Export everything manually?
One Mistake, Big Problem
It's 2am, you're tired, you run a query on production instead of staging. Most tools won't stop you.

Freelancer FAQs
Can I use QueryGlow for all my freelance clients?
Yes. QueryGlow is $79 once for unlimited clients and unlimited projects. Use it for Client A's MySQL, Client B's PostgreSQL, Client C's MariaDB—all in one tool, forever. No per-client fees, no project limits.
How do I give clients temporary database access?
Deploy QueryGlow on a cheap VPS ($5/month on DigitalOcean or Hetzner), create a connection for the client's database, share the URL with them. They get a beautiful web interface without seeing your credentials. When the project ends, delete the connection or shut down the instance.
Is QueryGlow safe for client production databases?
Yes. Safe Mode is designed exactly for this. It blocks DROP DATABASE (always, cannot be bypassed), prevents DELETE/UPDATE without WHERE clauses, and auto-limits SELECT queries to 1000 rows. Plus, environment color coding makes it visually obvious when you're on production (red) vs staging (yellow) vs dev (green).
How do I connect to client servers securely?
QueryGlow has built-in SSH tunnel support. Your client gives you SSH access to their server, you paste your private key directly into QueryGlow—no terminal setup, no separate SSH clients. The connection is encrypted end-to-end.
What if my clients use different databases?
QueryGlow supports 6 databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, CockroachDB, and TimescaleDB. One tool handles them all. No more switching between pgAdmin for one client and MySQL Workbench for another.
Is $79 really a one-time payment?
Yes. $79 once, you own it forever. All v1.x updates included. No monthly fees, no annual renewals, no per-seat charges. Deploy it on as many servers as you need for your freelance business.
