View, debug, and analyze your databases without building admin panels again. Secure, read-only connections for your peace of mind.
Wasting weekends coding basic CRUD views for every new side project instead of focusing on the product core.
Jumping between 5 different browser tabs, CLI terminals, and local clients just to check user signups.
Sharing raw credentials or leaving ports open just to get quick access to production data.
Securely connect via connection string. We verify read-only access by default.
AdminBase scans your schema and builds intelligent table views, filters, and relationship links automatically.
Switch between projects instantly. Query, export, and visualize data from a single unified interface.
Not just a raw dump. We detect foreign keys to create clickable links, render JSON fields beautifully, and allow quick inline filtering without writing SQL.
Visualize new signups, revenue, or error logs with one-click chart generation.
Indie hacking involves many bets. Manage DBs for 5+ projects in one sidebar.
Shortcuts (Cmd+K), dark mode by default, and monospace fonts where it matters.
SELECT * FROM users
WHERE created_at > NOW()
LIMIT 10;
We encourage using read-only database users. We can't drop tables if we don't have permission.
Connection strings are AES-256 encrypted and stored securely. We never log your data.
