YourQL
What it is
YourQL is a free desktop application for asking questions about databases in plain English and receiving generated queries, interactive tables, charts and summaries. It runs on Linux, macOS and Windows and supports sources including MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, CSV, Excel and Google Sheets. Users can configure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Ollama or a custom OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoint. YourQL reads a database schema, sends a prompt to the selected model and runs the SQL it generates; errors can be sent back for correction and another attempt. Exploration queries offer configurable strict, moderate or relaxed safety modes. The maker says source queries are limited to SELECT statements and do not permit writes. Conversations, settings and connection details are stored locally, and cloud transmission occurs only when a cloud model provider is configured. Users can add database-specific rules and descriptions, activate reusable Markdown skills, and export discussions as PDF, HTML or Markdown. The official site describes the project as work in progress.

The verdict
YourQL combines natural-language database exploration with query results, charts and export options. Its work-in-progress status and the model's access to configured databases are important considerations.
Who it suits
