Query any database from a terminal built for the keyboard
A fast terminal client for SQLite and major server databases, with query history, tunnels and a no-credentials demo mode — built with Claude Code, then reviewed line by line by a human.
Maker-authored post describing the AI-assisted workflow and the human review around it
pipx install sqlit-tui; sqlit --mock=sqlite-demo opens a demo database with no credentials
What it does
Inspect and query SQL databases from the terminal: SQLite locally, plus server, cloud and warehouse databases, with SSH tunnels and OS-keyring credential storage.
Who it helps
Developers who work in the terminal and want database access without a heavy desktop IDE.

- Tools
- Claude Code · Implementation and brainstormingTextual · Headless UI testing
- Peter picked the problem and required real database integration tests instead of mocks.
- He chose Textual so the interface could be tested headlessly, and reviewed the architecture as the tool grew.
- The build post is explicit that human work was choosing the problem, rejecting weak ideas, and using the product.
What the person did
Peter Adams set the requirements and test strategy, reviewed the architecture, and decided what shipped; the maker post states he did not edit the code by hand.
