We're excited to announce the release of the Dolt Workbench Desktop app, now available for download! Dolt Workbench is a modern, open-source SQL workbench built for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Dolt-compatible databases. This desktop version simplifies working with your data, offering features like committing changes, switching branches, and merging pull requests when using Dolt.

Standalone App

Previously, we made the Dolt Workbench available on Docker Hub. But not everyone loves Docker, and we wanted to create a simpler experience focused on how you manage data with Dolt Workbench. Now, data analysts can get started without the hassle of configuring Docker setups.

That’s why we built Dolt Workbench as a standalone desktop app. Just download, install, and run. It’s available for both Mac and Windows. We achieved this using Electron.

Key Features

Dolt Workbench provides a clean, modern interface for viewing and editing your data. Here’s an overview of what you’ll see in Dolt Workbench desktop.

Database Connections

Connect effortlessly to MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Dolt databases and start managing your data.

Run SQL Queries

Execute SQL queries directly from the built-in console.

Import Data Easily

Upload files or use the spreadsheet editor to import data into your database.

Visualize with ER Diagrams

ER diagrams help you visualize entities and relationships within your database, offering a clear view of your schema’s structure.

One of the standout features is the integration with Dolt’s version control features, allowing you to track and manage changes with commits and branches.

Explore Commit History with Commit Graph

The commit graph feature makes it easy to navigate through your database’s commit history and see changes over time.

View Detailed Changes with Diff View

The diff view feature allows you to examine the specific changes in your commits.
