Sqlectron is a simple and lightweight SQL client for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms, coming with cross-database support. It makes it easier to manage databases, improves programming and development efficiency, and brings unparalleled workflow. In addition to desktop for GUI, it also provides Term for terminal in case you prefer terminal interfaces.

As an Electron-based database management tool, besides being designed to be as simple and user-friendly as possible, Sqlectron offers a slightly different perspective on managing SQL databases and executing queries. Obviously, the authors did not create it to compete with other enterprise-oriented software solutions of this kind, but to offer the average user the ability to manage databases in an environment that does not distract from the main work and without the need to perform complex processes to achieve this goal.

If you are just doing basic SQL execution on a daily basis, then Sqlectron is perfectly suited to your needs. Compared with DataGrip and Navicat, its obvious advantages are that it is free and open-source, and it runs smoothly without causing the computer to heat up too much, or even cause the system to freeze. In short, Sqlectron proves that SQL editors do not necessary have to heavyweight and full-featured pieces of software.
