Falcon is a free, open-source desktop SQL client with inline data visualization, built on Electron by Plotly. It connects to databases like Redshift, MySQL, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, Impala, MS SQL, Oracle, and SQLite, letting users run queries and chart or export the results.
Use cases
- run SQL queries against PostgreSQL or MySQL with a GUI
- visualize query results as charts without writing code
- export SQL query results to CSV
- connect a Plotly Chart Studio dashboard to a live database
- query Amazon Redshift data warehouse from a desktop app
- explore SQLite databases on Windows or Mac
When to choose
- you want a free desktop SQL editor with built-in charting
- you need to connect Plotly charts or dashboards directly to a database
- you work across several database engines and want one lightweight client
When to avoid
- you need an actively developed tool with recent updates and support
- you want advanced SQL IDE features like schema refactoring or autocompletion
- you prefer a web-based or team-oriented BI platform
