Rainfrog is a terminal-based (TUI) database management tool built in Rust with Ratatui, supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and other databases. It offers a vim-like query editor with syntax highlighting, table browsing, filtering, and schema navigation.

Use cases

• query postgres from the terminal
• browse and filter database tables in a tui
• lightweight alternative to GUI database clients
• run sql queries with vim keybindings
• manage sqlite and mysql databases in the shell
• inspect table metadata and schemas over ssh

When to choose

• you live in the terminal and want a fast, keyboard-driven database client
• you need a lightweight alternative to DBeaver or pgAdmin
• you work across postgres, mysql, and sqlite with one tool
• you're on a remote server or ssh session without GUI access

When to avoid

• you need full GUI features like visual ER diagrams or report builders
• you require write access on production databases (breaking changes expected)
• you need Oracle or DuckDB as first-class, well-tested drivers
• you prefer mouse-heavy point-and-click database tools
