tom_doerr · x · 2026-10-03
Gridex is an open-source, AI-native database IDE for macOS, Windows, and Linux, built natively with Swift/AppKit, that connects PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Redis, MongoDB, SQL Server, and ClickHouse in a single app.
Key points:
- Ships with a built-in MCP server and AI chat, so AI agents can query databases directly
- Seven drivers share one DatabaseAdapter protocol (50 methods), making grid and query-editor features uniform across databases
- Fast, keyboard-driven native UI; macOS build is signed, notarized, and auto-updates
- Currently at 1.5k GitHub stars, with DMG, Windows installer, and Linux AppImage downloads
