Squill

CI

I write a lot of SQL queries. I enjoy the experience provided by canvas tools such as Count.co. But they're either too expensive or too feature-bloated for my needs. So I made Squill — a lightweight, open-source SQL editor and database client that runs (as much as possible) in your browser.

Desktop app

Native binaries for macOS, Windows, and Linux are published on the releases page.

macOS — first launch

The .dmg is unsigned (Squill does not have an Apple Developer ID — that costs $99/yr and there's no open-source exemption). After dragging Squill to /Applications, run this once to remove the Gatekeeper quarantine attribute:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Squill.app

If you'd rather not use the terminal, double-click Squill, hit Cancel on the warning, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway at the bottom.

Windows

The .msi is unsigned. SmartScreen may warn — click More info → Run anyway.

Linux

.AppImage is portable (chmod +x and run). .deb and .rpm are also published for system-level install.
