QueryGlow
Needs network to server
QueryGlow is self-hosted. Your data stays on your servers. Add as many security layers as you need.
All database credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Even if someone accesses your server, they can't read your passwords.
Blocks DROP DATABASE, prevents DELETE/UPDATE without WHERE, auto-limits SELECT to 1000 rows. Perfect for teams where not everyone is a SQL expert.
Connect to databases behind firewalls. Paste your private key directly—no external tools needed. Ephemeral ports for security.
When using AI SQL generation, only your schema (table/column names) is sent. Your actual row data never leaves your server.

Give clients a simple URL instead of complex installation docs. Revoke access when the project ends.
Grant temporary access without sharing database passwords. Remove access instantly when they're done.
QueryGlow isn't just your desktop app in a browser. It's better.
Describe what you want in plain English. QueryGlow generates the SQL using your actual schema.
Perfect for teams where not everyone is a SQL expert. Prevent accidents before they happen.
