We just tagged the first public preview of NodeQL, our local-first desktop app for learning, designing, and running SQL with visual blocks. It's free, it's offline, and it doesn't ask you for an account.
What "preview" means here
Preview means the core workbench, the plugin SDK, and local SQLite support are all solid enough to use daily — but the published binaries are currently unsigned. On macOS and Windows that means you'll see a first-launch security prompt. That's expected, not a red flag, but we wanted to be upfront about it rather than call this a 1.0.
What's in the box
- Visual SQL blocks with snapping, editing, compilation, and execution
- Local SQLite access with no separate CLI required
- A declarative Plugin SDK v2, with SHA-256-verified community repositories
- Versioned project files with autosave and guided upgrades from older formats
Try it
Linux, macOS, and Windows builds are up on the NodeQL page. If something breaks, open an issue — we read every one ourselves.
