BaseMaster BaseMaster

The database tool devs actually ship with.

Move data between environments in seconds. Dump dynamically. Edit grids in bulk. MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite — one native binary, zero friction.

Built for the daily developer loop.

Clone data between envs, fix a row without writing DDL, dump a schema in seconds, wire your AI agent into the database. The boring parts, fast.

Copy data between environments

Prod snapshot to local in one wizard. Intra-table parallelism, automatic FK handling, triggers copied, DDL translated across MySQL ↔ Postgres. The "please send me a dump" tax, gone.

Dynamic SQL dumps

Pick tables, filter rows, choose structure-only or data-only, stream to .sql or .zip. Extended INSERTs, hex BLOBs, single-transaction — all configurable. No mysqldump gymnastics.

Bulk-edit the grid

Multi-cell fill, paste whole CSVs into a rectangle, pending edits until you hit Ctrl+S. Fixing a staging row is faster than writing the UPDATE.

One app, every stack

MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite. Switch connections without switching apps — side-by-side tabs for when you're mid-migration.

SQL editor that gets out of the way

CodeMirror 6, schema-aware autocomplete, per-statement execution with Ctrl+Enter. CSV / JSON / Excel import with fuzzy auto-mapping.

Docker auto-discovery

Finds every MySQL/Postgres container running locally (including WSL) and one-clicks them into your tree. Matches your docker-compose without you typing ports.

EXPLAIN, actually readable

Grid, tree, flame chart, per-node statistics and raw JSON. Spot the full scan before it hits production.

AI agent + MCP server

Built-in agent across 12 providers — generate queries, explain plans, apply safe writes with per-call approval. Or expose your connections to Claude Code / Cursor via MCP.

Your data stays yours

Passwords in the OS keyring. No telemetry, no cloud sync, no phoning home. Single native binary — open the exe and you're connected.

Fits into whatever you're already doing.

Side-by-side tabs, one-shot EXPLAIN, schema edits without leaving the grid, a transfer wizard that doesn't need a manual.

Honest comparison — BaseMaster isn't trying to replace everything, it's trying to be the one you keep open all day.

MIT. No paywall, ever.

Built by one developer in the gaps. If BaseMaster saves you a dump script today, a beer goes a long way toward the next feature.
