Visual SQLite Workspace

SQLite GUI Client for Windows, macOS, and Linux

SQLite has no server to connect to, the whole database is one portable file. Point VisuaLeaf at a local .sqlite or .db file and instantly browse tables, write SQL, run PRAGMA statements, view the schema as an ER diagram, and turn embedded data into charts.

Open Any SQLite File and Actually See Inside It

SQLite is a single file with a full SQL engine in it, and none of that is visible from the outside. Tables, types, PRAGMA settings, and relationships stay behind the shell. VisuaLeaf turns any .db or .sqlite file into a visual workspace you can browse, query, diagram, and chart.

Double-clicking a .sqlite file does nothing

The format is one portable file, but nothing in the operating system opens it, so the contents stay invisible until you go find a shell.

Type affinity lets anything into any column

SQLite will happily store a string in an INTEGER column unless the table is STRICT, so the declared schema and the actual data can quietly disagree.

PRAGMA is the only way to ask about the database

Journal mode, foreign key enforcement, page size, and integrity checks each need their own PRAGMA, memorised and typed one at a time.

ALTER TABLE stops short of a real schema edit

SQLite cannot retype a column in place, so routine schema changes turn into a create-copy-rename dance you script by hand.

A visual workflow for SQLite

Open any SQLite file, browse tables and types, build queries visually or in SQL, check PRAGMA settings, diagram relationships, and chart results — all in one workspace.

Everything You Need for SQLite, Visually

Open the file, then move naturally into visual queries, raw SQL, schema and ER diagrams, PRAGMA-level performance checks, and charts.

Table Management

Manage tables visually instead of hand-writing DDL. Add, rename, and edit columns with their types, defaults, primary keys, and foreign keys, review triggers and table constraints, and read the full CREATE TABLE statement with one click.

SQL Editor

Write raw SQL with autocomplete, run PRAGMA statements, and use SQLite extensions like JSON1 functions and FTS5 full-text search, then flip back to visual mode.

Schema & ER Diagrams

Reconstruct the tables, columns, primary keys, indexes, and foreign-key relationships hidden inside a single .sqlite file as an interactive ER diagram.

Schema & ER Diagrams

A Visual Workflow for Everyday SQLite Tasks

From a single serverless file to a chart in five steps, open, explore, build, analyze, and visualize, all without a connection string.

Built for Different SQLite Users

Whether you are shipping an embedded database, prototyping locally, or reviewing an app's data file, VisuaLeaf gives you a clearer way to work.

App & Embedded Developers

Pull the SQLite file from your iOS, Android, or desktop app and see exactly what it stored, so you can debug queries against real embedded data.

Local Devs & Prototypers

SQLite is zero-config, so it is perfect for local development, test fixtures, and prototypes. Open the file and iterate without standing up a server.

Data Analysts

Run SQL and build charts straight from a portable .sqlite file, copy it to your machine and explore it, no database server required.

Students and Beginners

SQLite's single-file simplicity makes it the easiest way to learn SQL and relational modeling, with clear ER diagrams and step-by-step tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a SQLite GUI?
A SQLite GUI is a visual tool for SQLite's serverless, single-file databases. Because SQLite has no server, you simply open a .sqlite or .db file directly to browse tables and rows, run SQL, view the schema as an ER diagram, and inspect settings with PRAGMA, without touching the sqlite3 command line or a connection string.
Can VisuaLeaf open local .sqlite and .db files directly?
Yes. SQLite is a zero-config, single-file database, so VisuaLeaf opens the file itself with no server or connection string. That includes the embedded SQLite databases shipped inside iOS and Android apps, desktop apps, browsers, and edge or IoT devices, plus test fixtures you copy from a build.
Does VisuaLeaf work with SQLite's dynamic typing and type affinity?
Yes. Unlike rigid SQL engines, SQLite uses dynamic typing with type affinity, so a column can hold mixed value types. VisuaLeaf shows each cell as it is actually stored so you can spot affinity surprises instead of guessing from a fixed column type.
Can I run PRAGMA statements and check WAL mode in VisuaLeaf?
Yes. You can run PRAGMA statements from the SQL editor to inspect and configure a database, including checking the journal_mode to confirm whether the file is in WAL mode, and reviewing foreign_keys, table_info, and index details.
Can I write raw SQL and use JSON1 or FTS5 in SQLite?
Yes. VisuaLeaf includes a full SQL editor with autocomplete, so you can write and run raw SQL against your tables and use SQLite extensions such as the JSON1 functions and FTS5 full-text search, then switch back to the visual query builder whenever you prefer.
Can VisuaLeaf visualize my SQLite schema as an ER diagram?
Yes. VisuaLeaf reads the tables, columns, primary keys, indexes, and foreign-key relationships from a single .sqlite file and draws them as an interactive ER diagram, which is useful when the file has no separate documentation.

More Than a SQLite Client

VisuaLeaf started as a MongoDB workspace and grew into a multi-database visual environment. One app, one workflow, across the databases your team actually uses.

And VisuaLeaf does not leave you staring at a wall of SQL and grids. It visualizes everything — SQLite schemas become interactive diagrams, queries become visual builders, and results become charts and dashboards.

Built by Developers, For Developers

VisuaLeaf is made by an independent software studio that ships often and listens to the developers who use it every day.
