QueryGlow is a self-hosted, web-based database GUI you deploy on your own server with Docker.
6 Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, CockroachDB, TimescaleDB
Key Features:
Security: AES-256-GCM encrypted credentials. Zero telemetry. Zero tracking. HTTPS with auto-renewing SSL.
Pricing: $79 once. Lifetime access, unlimited users, all v1.x updates. No subscription.
Redbrix is built for two kinds of people: developers who need to give clients a simple way to manage their own data without building a bespoke admin panel from scratch, and small business owners looking to move off spreadsheets without taking on the complexity of a full database tool. Point it at an existing database and it generates a clean admin UI on top โ browse records in a familiar grid view, edit them directly, and navigate linked records across related tables without touching SQL. No migration required; it works with the data and schema already present.
Redbrix is currently in public beta and free to use while in this stage. Paid plans will be introduced at full launch; these will include a "pro" account including additional features and a "team" account for multiple users within a single organization. (There will remain a free tier without premium features.)

QueryGlow's answer
QueryGlow is the only self-hosted database GUI with a built-in Safe Mode that blocks destructive queries by default, an EXPLAIN Visualizer for all 6 supported databases, and AI SQL generation with bring-your-own-key support. It runs entirely on your infrastructure with zero telemetry.
Redbrix's answer:
It requires literally no configuration in order to start working with data on the target database.
QueryGlow's answer
Unlike pgAdmin or DBeaver, QueryGlow is web-based and opens instantly in any browser. Unlike DataGrip, it's a one-time $79 payment instead of $229/year. Unlike cloud-hosted tools, your data never leaves your server. It supports 6 database engines in one clean interface.
Redbrix's answer:
Ease of setup and an intuitive, user-oriented interface.
QueryGlow's answer
Developers, DBAs, and teams who work with production databases and need a fast, secure, browser-based interface. Especially those who handle sensitive data and need self-hosted solutions for compliance (GDPR, SOC2).
Redbrix's answer:
Web developers looking to provide an admin application for their clients and small businesses moving away from spreadsheets as a method of storing data and on to a hosted database platform.
QueryGlow's answer
I got frustrated with pgAdmin's outdated UI, DBeaver's slow startup, and DataGrip's subscription model. I just wanted a database tool that opens instantly, looks clean, runs in my browser, and keeps my data on my own server. So I built it.
