Mergen

The Art of Database Management

Beautiful. Powerful. Native.

Redefining the standard for modern database clients.

In a world of clunky, Electron-heavy database tools, Mergen stands apart. We built Mergen with a single philosophy: Developer tools should be as beautiful as they are powerful.

Mergen combines the raw performance of Go with the fluid interactivity of React, delivering an experience that feels native, instant, and incredibly responsive. It's not just a tool; it's a workspace you'll love to inhabit.

Experience a UI designed for focus and clarity.

• Glassmorphism Design: Modern, translucent interfaces that blend perfectly with your OS.
• Adaptive Themes: Seamlessly switches between Dark and Light modes. Choose from curated palettes like Ocean Blue, Royal Purple, and Forest Green.
• Distraction-Free: A clean workspace that puts your data front and center.

Your data is your most valuable asset. Mergen treats it that way.

• SSH Tunneling: Securely access production databases without exposing ports to the public internet. Native, encrypted tunneling built-in.
• Local-First Architecture: Your connection credentials and queries never leave your machine. No cloud sync, no tracking, complete privacy.
• SSL/TLS Support: Full support for encrypted database connections.
• Safe Mode Editing: Changes in the Data Editor are staged first. Commit only when you're ready, preventing accidental data loss.

Forget about loading spinners and laggy inputs.

• Go Backend: Powered by a robust Go core for blazing-fast connection handling and query execution.
• Low Footprint: Consumes a fraction of the RAM compared to traditional Electron apps.
• Instant Startup: Launches in milliseconds, ready when you are.

Work smarter, not harder.

• Command Palette (Cmd+K): Navigate anywhere, execute commands, toggle connections, and switch contexts without ever lifting your hands from the keyboard.
• Multi-Tab Interface: Juggle multiple queries, table views, and visualizations simultaneously.
• Smart Autocomplete: Context-aware SQL suggestions help you write queries faster and with fewer errors.

Don't just read data—see it.

• Instant Charts: Turn any query result into a visual masterpiece with one click.
• Rich Chart Types: Bar, Line, Area, and Pie charts available instantly.
• Interactive: Hover, zoom, and explore your data visually to find insights faster.

• Data Editor: A spreadsheet-like interface for quick edits. Double-click to modify, add rows, or delete data.
• Universal Export: Export your data to Excel (.xlsx), CSV, or JSON formats effortlessly.
• Query History: Never lose a complex query again. Access your execution history instantly.

Why settle for bloated, expensive tools when you can have perfection?

The Truth About Electron: Most modern database tools are built on Electron, effectively bundling a whole web browser with every app. This eats your RAM, drains your battery, and slows down your workflow.

Mergen is different. By using Wails, we leverage the native webview already present on your OS. The result? An app that looks better, runs faster, and respects your hardware. Don't pay for bloat. Choose Mergen.
