WhoDB is a lightweight, self-hosted database management workspace that lets teams explore schemas, edit data, run queries, and visualize relationships across SQL, NoSQL, and cloud data sources. It also provides data lineage, visual pipelines, a data catalog, and an AI agent with text-to-SQL capabilities, available as a web app, desktop app, or CLI.

Use cases

• manage postgres and mysql databases from one web ui
• explore database schema with er diagrams
• generate test data for my database tables
• ask questions about my data in natural language
• trace where a metric in a dashboard came from
• build visual data pipelines without writing scripts
• self-hosted alternative to database gui clients
• connect mcp server to my databases

When to choose

• you want one lightweight tool to browse, query, and edit many database types
• you need schema visualization and data lineage in a self-hosted workspace
• you want AI-assisted querying that respects user permissions
• you're replacing ad-hoc spreadsheets or scattered db clients with tracked workflows

When to avoid

• you need a full enterprise data governance or catalog platform with deep compliance features
• you only need a CLI query client for a single database
• you require heavy-duty ETL orchestration at scale rather than visual pipelines
• you need offline desktop-only tooling without a server component
