LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN

Your data stays on your machine.

Lopo Studio is a desktop SQL client built for focused, local work. It does not require an account, a cloud workspace, or a constant internet connection to use your databases.

  • No account required — connect directly to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and DuckDB.
  • Your credentials stay local — database passwords and SSH key passphrases are stored in Windows Credential Manager.
  • No telemetry by default — Lopo Studio does not send your queries or database contents to our servers.
You stay in control of your connections, saved queries, and workspace data.
Supported Engines

PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and DuckDB.

Connect to local servers, containerized instances, or embedded file databases without proprietary connectors or cloud middleware.
