    DynoTable

    DynoTable

    DynoTable

    DynoTable is a local-first DynamoDB GUI, a desktop client for Amazon DynamoDB on macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux (.deb/.rpm). Its SQL Workbench runs real SELECT queries with JOINs, GROUP BY and aggregations (SUM, AVG, COUNT DISTINCT, HAVING) over live tables. Every query previews its plan before it runs, showing Scan vs Query, the index and an RCU estimate, so you see the cost first. Smart Tables join tables on a primary key or any global secondary index and recompute live, with no schema migration or ETL. A built-in AI agent runs on your own Amazon Bedrock keys. It reads your schema, drafts queries and proposes writes, and no prompt, schema or row leaves your AWS account. Claude Code, Cursor and Codex connect over MCP. External agents never write directly; every change lands in a staging window you review and commit. DynoTable talks straight to AWS with your own credentials, so it can only do what your IAM policy allows, and works with AWS SSO, aws-vault and DynamoDB Local.

    pgAdmin

    pgAdmin

    pgAdmin

    pgAdmin is a free software project released under the PostgreSQL/Artistic licence. The software is available in source and binary format from the PostgreSQL mirror network. Because compiling from source requires technical knowledge, we recommend installing binary packages whenever possible. pgAdmin is the most popular and feature rich Open Source administration and development platform for PostgreSQL, the most advanced Open Source database in the world. pgAdmin is a management tool for PostgreSQL and derivative relational databases such as EnterpriseDB's EDB Advanced Server. It may be run either as a web or desktop application. As pgAdmin is a web application, it can only interact with the local filesystem in ways that are allowed by modern web browsers. This limits what is possible for security; essentially files can only be "downloaded" or "uploaded" (through a form).
