Most Postgres GUIs are heavyweight admin suites (DataGrip, DBeaver) or basic viewers that stop at raw foreign-key ids. This does one thing well: filter by following foreign keys to their real values, not ids, plus a guardrailed search across every table at once — capped and timed out so it's safe on production data. Runs as a single Docker container against your own database; your schema and data never leave your infrastructure, only a license check does. $10/seat/month, no feature tiers.
I came across a Hacker News thread where someone said they'd pay $20/seat/month for a modern SQL editor that could actually follow foreign keys to real values instead of raw ids, with real search across everything — not another heavyweight admin suite. That stuck with me, so I built it.
It's deliberately narrow: one job, done well. Self-hosted so your database credentials and data never touch my servers — only a license check does. Would love to hear what you think, especially if you've hit the same DataGrip/DBeaver frustration.
