PostgreSQL · MySQL · SQL Server · SQLite
Every grid edit is reviewed as SQL before it saves. Read-only is enforced by the database. Secrets stay in your keychain. No account, no telemetry.
14-day free trial, no card, no account · then $39 once · macOS, Windows, Linux
Safe by default
bzora is built on one rule: the app should not change your data in a way you did not see.
Reviewed
Edits wait in the grid until you save. You read the exact statements first, and the whole batch runs as one transaction.
Enforced
Mark a connection read-only and PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite refuse the write themselves.
Browse
Every table opens as a paged, sortable grid. Add filters and joins by pointing, and see the exact SQL behind what you are looking at.
Private AI
Ask in plain language and it drafts a query for your schema. You decide whether it goes into the editor.
What the assistant is sent
With a local model, nothing leaves your machine.
Autocomplete for tables and columns, one result per statement, and cancel for a single query.
Tables as cards, foreign keys as lines. The quickest way into a database you did not build.
Explain shows the plan as a tree with the heavy steps highlighted. Analyze measures a real run, then rolls it back.
Security
Passwords, SSH passphrases and API keys live in your OS keychain. The connections file contains no secret.
Encryption is on by default and the certificate is verified. bzora never drops to a weaker mode silently.
Tunnels check the host against your known_hosts. An unknown or changed host is refused.
No analytics, no crash reports, no account. The app contacts only your databases, the license check and the update check.
Why bzora exists
For years I opened production databases with the same small worry: did I just edit the right row? So I built a client around that worry. You see every edit as SQL before it runs, the database refuses writes when you say read-only, and your passwords never sit in a file.

No. There is no account and no telemetry. Your queries go only to the databases you connect to. The assistant is optional: with a cloud model it receives table and column names, never rows, and with a local model nothing leaves your machine.
Yes. Mark the connection read-only. PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite refuse the write themselves. SQL Server has no such mode, so bzora blocks it in the app. For a guarantee, connect with a database user that has read rights only.
14 days free, no card. Then one payment of $39 and a key for up to 2 of your computers, on any platform. Deactivate in the app to move a seat. It includes every update through 1.x.
After activation the app keeps working for 14 days without checking in, so a plane or a locked-down network is fine. If we ever wind the project down, our plan is to ship a final update that removes license checks entirely.
Yes, within 30 days. bzora is sold through Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record. Consumers in the EU also have a statutory 14-day right to cancel, described on the Consumer rights page.
No. bzora is closed source. The security page says exactly what the app stores, what leaves your computer, and where its limits are.
Not as a separate product. Email [email protected] and tell us how many seats you need.
No. A Go backend with your system's own web view, and no bundled browser.
