Move data between environments in seconds. Dump dynamically. Edit grids in bulk. MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite — one native binary, zero friction.
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.
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.
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.
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.
MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite (with optional SQLCipher). Switch connections without switching apps — side-by-side tabs for when you're mid-migration. UI in 8 languages.
CodeMirror 6, schema-aware autocomplete, per-statement execution with Ctrl+Enter. CSV / JSON / Excel import with fuzzy auto-mapping.
Finds every MySQL/Postgres container running locally (including WSL) and one-clicks them into your tree. Matches your docker-compose without you typing ports.
Grid, tree, flame chart, per-node statistics and raw JSON. Spot the full scan before it hits production.
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.
Passwords in the OS keyring. No telemetry, no cloud sync, no phoning home. Single native binary — open the exe and you're connected.
SSH tunnel with multi-hop jump host chains, HTTP CONNECT proxy, optional TLS. Host keys verified on first contact via TOFU and locked in known_hosts — re-connects with a swapped key get blocked, not silently accepted.
Stop button issues KILL QUERY / pg_cancel_backend server-side, not just on the UI. Plus a guard that confirms before any UPDATE/DELETE without a WHERE — the table-wipe footgun, defused.
Import connections from DBeaver, HeidiSQL (with passwords), DataGrip and Navicat. Drop the export file, pick the connections, done.
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.

build from source.
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.
