We’re MotherDuck, a software company founded by a passionate flock of experienced data geeks. We’ve worked as leaders for some of the greatest companies in data. Scale-out is expensive and slow, let’s scale up. Big Data is dead, long live easy data. Your laptop is faster than your data warehouse. Why wait for the cloud? DuckDB slaps, so let’s supercharge it. When we founded MotherDuck we recognized that DuckDB might just be the next major game changer thanks to its ease of use, portability, lightning-fast performance, and rapid pace of community-driven innovation. At MotherDuck, we want to help the community, the DuckDB Foundation, and DuckDB Labs build greater awareness and adoption of DuckDB, whether users are working locally or want a serverless always-on way to execute their SQL. We are a world-class team of engineers and leaders with experience working on databases and cloud services at AWS, Databricks, Elastic, Facebook, Firebolt, Google BigQuery, Neo4j, SingleStore, and more.

QStudio is a free, modern SQL editor supporting over 30 databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and DuckDB. It offers features such as server browsing for easy viewing of tables, variables, functions, and configuration settings; SQL syntax highlighting; code completion; the ability to query servers directly from the editor; and built-in charts for data visualization. QStudio runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux, providing particularly good support for kdb+, Parquet, PRQL, and DuckDB. Additional functionalities include data pivoting similar to Excel, exporting data to Excel or CSV, and AI-powered tools like Text2SQL for generating queries from plain English, Explain-My-Query for code walkthroughs, and Explain-My-Error for debugging assistance. Simply send the query you want and select the chart type to draw a chart. Send queries straight from within the editor to any of your servers. All data structures are handled perfectly.
