Filters you can switch off and still read
Disable a condition without deleting it. The generated query comments it out, so the reasoning stays in the SQL — together with the AND/OR you chose.
Navidog is a native MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and SQLite client for Android, Linux, macOS and Windows — built by a database administrator for real daily work, not for a demo.
One edition · one price
One of the few complete database clients that runs on a tablet — with the same app on Mac, Windows and Linux. No pro edition, no subscription, no features locked behind a paywall.
The account server is free too: you host it, the data stays yours.
Why Navidog exists
Its creator works with databases every day. The free edition of the tools available had limits that showed up exactly when you needed them: export options, filters, structure changes.
Instead of adapting to a limited version, he built the client he wanted: a fast grid, an editor that understands SQL, filters you can reason about, complete exports and a table designer that does not hide the SQL.
Navidog is the result of that work: one codebase for tablet and desktop, the same shortcuts everywhere, and an optional server you can host yourself.
“I wanted the client I use every day to stop getting in the way.”
— the Navidog project
A closer look
Every screen is designed around the work you repeat every day. Scroll to see the details that usually get lost in demos.
Disable a condition without deleting it. The generated query comments it out, so the reasoning stays in the SQL — together with the AND/OR you chose.
CSV, SQL, XLSX or straight to another server. Whole table, filtered rows or the visible page, with the encoding and the scope you picked.
Fields, indexes, triggers and options, with a live CREATE and ALTER preview before anything touches the database.

What makes it different
No feature list for the sake of it: these are the parts that come from daily work with real schemas.
Copy any selection as a ready IN (…) list, inline or one value per line.
Toggle a filter off and the generated query comments it out: the reasoning is never lost.
CSV, SQL, XLSX and server-to-server, with the right scope every time.
Tables, views, routines, events and triggers in one SQL file, with progress and error reporting.
Fields, indexes, triggers and options, with a live CREATE and ALTER preview.
An optional account server for sync, sharing and vault. Run it yourself: your data stays yours.
Navidog Server
Coming soonAn optional Go + PostgreSQL service that adds library sync, sharing and an encrypted vault to the client. One container, one database, your rules — nothing leaves your network.
The public release is being packaged. The server already runs the project’s own account services; the download will appear here.
