Rustable is an open‑source database client built in Rust and compiled to WASM, letting you run a full SQLite or Redis workspace directly in the browser. No JavaScript rewrite—just pure Rust, dude. Try the demo, switch connections with the plug icon, browse, query, edit, import, export, and keep saved queries across sessions.
Supported engines include SQLite, Postgre SQL, My SQL, Maria DB, and standalone Redis 7.4. The UI, powered by egui, redraws at your monitor’s refresh rate for smooth scrolling and resizing. Native builds for macOS (Apple Silicon, signed), Windows x64, and Linux x64 are available, with SSH tunnels on macOS/Linux. Early version v0.4.8 is already in use by the team.
The project is 100 % Rust, using mise and crafted by artisan Astra with a “vibe‑coded” approach. It emphasizes speed through reused connections, virtualized rows, and off‑UI‑thread work, offering less ceremony than traditional clients. It’s built for people who want to get work done, not clowns, and is free and open source.
Download v0.4.8 above; macOS gets automatic updates, while Windows and Linux need manual updates. Linux requires Ubuntu 24.04 or newer libraries. For issues, the app follows a PICNIC philosophy.
