This release adds Ask: type a question about your database and get an answer, the SQL behind it, and a chart, a number, or a table. It runs on the Claude, Codex, or Antigravity CLI you already have, so there's no API key to paste.

💬 Ask

• ⌘T / Ctrl+T now opens an Ask tab (#351), and so does the empty state. ⌘⇧T / Ctrl+Shift+T opens the SQL editor. Type a question or plain SQL; the composer tells them apart, and Tab locks the mode.
• An answer shows what it ran. You get the explanation, the SQL, and a chart, a single number, or a table, plus "More from this answer" and follow-up questions. A query that fails gets a Fix button.
• Ask from anywhere. The command palette and sidebar search offer Ask when nothing matches. The schema explorer has "Ask about this table". The header has a connection switcher and an Ask button.
• Ask tabs survive a restart. Each keeps its last 40 blocks. Result rows are not saved to disk, so you run a block again to see its rows. Error messages and the assistant's answers are kept as written, so they can quote a value the database returned.
• Stop ends an answer and shuts down the CLI behind it, so it stops using your subscription.

🛡️ Read-only unless you say otherwise

• SQL the assistant writes runs on its own only if it is a single read, and the database enforces that (#351). A SELECT that calls a function that writes fails or is undone:

• Anything that writes waits for you. Nothing runs until you click Run it, and the assistant is told which SQL never ran. Run again keeps an assistant-written read on the read-only path.
• Cancel stops the query on the database (#352), not just in the app. SQLite is the exception: its driver can't interrupt a running query.
• The MCP server's read tool uses the same enforcement. Before this release, MCP reads on MySQL, SQL Server, and SQLite were protected only by a keyword check. A SELECT that called a stored function that writes could change data there. PostgreSQL and ClickHouse were already enforced by the database.

✏️ ⌘I in the SQL editor

• Describe a change, review the diff, accept it as one undoable edit (#351). If the text changed while you were reviewing, nothing is applied.
• Fix with AI on a query error opens the same bar with the error filled in.

🔧 Fixes and polish

• macOS gets its native scrollbars back. They appear while you scroll and then fade, instead of a permanent track on every panel. The stray scrollbars on the tab bar, schema list, and sidebar are gone on every platform.
• Wide results no longer push the window sideways, and the editor toolbar scrolls when the window is narrow.
• Manage your license's devices yourself (#350). Enter your key at datapeek.dev/dashboard (www.datapeek.dev) to see your plan and active devices, and remove old ones to free a slot. The License Dashboard link in the app now goes there.
