## What it is
Surrealist is a visual management interface for SurrealDB, available as a desktop app (built with Tauri and React) and web app, letting users connect to instances, run SurrealQL queries, explore tables, and design schemas. It has been superseded by SurrealDB Studio, which is now the recommended tool.

## Use cases
- visually manage a surrealdb database
- run surrealql queries with a gui
- design and edit database schemas visually
- explore tables and records in surrealdb
- manage surrealdb cloud instances
- connect to a local or remote surrealdb instance

## When to choose
- you need a legacy SurrealDB GUI and cannot use the newer SurrealDB Studio
- you want to inspect or maintain an older Surrealist-based workflow

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - SurrealDB Studio is the official successor
- you need a database GUI for engines other than SurrealDB
- you need guaranteed new features or bug fixes, since development has moved to Studio
