A pleasant Postgres browser for working with real data
Every Postgres project eventually needs a way to browse production data. You either suffer through ugly, expensive, and overly complex enterprise-grade tools, or build yet another custom admin panel that you need to maintain. Simpl is different. Paste your connection string and instantly get a beautiful, browsable interface. Filter intelligently, follow foreign keys naturally, customize what you see, and share with your team. Built by a solo dev, for solo devs and small teams.
I’m Charlie, the maker of Simpl (and a bunch of other stuff lol)
I built Simpl after shipping 10+ products on the same stack (Next.js + Postgres) and hitting the same wall every time:
You launch → you need to understand real user data → you open a heavy DB tool → regret → build a custom admin → promise yourself you won’t maintain it forever → repeat.
Everything I tried felt either ugly, overpowered, or way too much work for something that should be simple.
So I built the tool I always wanted.
Simpl is a beautifully simple Postgres browser. Not a BI tool. Not a CMS. Not an app builder. Just a fast, intuitive way to explore and edit your data.
What it does really well:
Click-through relationship navigation that just makes sense
Type-aware fields, filters, and inline editing
List and detail views that work out of the box
Real-time querying, no data stored on our servers
$49 one-time price, no subscription
Setup takes about 30 seconds. Paste your connection string and you’re in.
I built this for solo devs and small teams who want clarity and simplicity.
I’d love your feedback:
What feels unclear or missing?
What would make this an instant buy for you?
Thanks for checking it out, and happy to answer any questions 🙏
