I’m thrilled to help launch Arctype today.
I’ve been working closely with the team over the past few months at Hyper and they’ve built a product that engineers and PMs are loving.
If you’re a data-obsessed team, you’ll love using Arctype.
@_shahedk We really appreciated your help over these past few months Shah! I highly recommend everyone to apply to the next Hyper cohort if you want to work with Shah (the founder of Loom) and Josh Buckley: https://hyper.com/
Today, we’re excited to officially launch Arctype, the best database GUI for developers!
I've always loved coding and I'm a software engineer at heart. However, every time I create a new project and work with databases, it's always been an unpleasant experience. I wanted to create the database experience that I've always wanted. This is why over the past 18 months, the Arctype team and I have been working hard to make the best database client possible. Think of it as "Postman meets phpMyAdmin." We were heavily inspired by both of those products for their simplicity and power.
It has features we've always wanted in database clients: an easy-to-use UI, collaboration, and visualizations. We support most of the features that existing SQL clients today have in addition to new features like a cmd + k command palette and lots of keyboard shortcuts that make working with your databases much easier.
We currently support PostgreSQL, MySQL, and PlanetScale, but we plan to release a lot more integrations soon. Comment below and let us know what database you want us to work on next :)

@justindeguzman_ This looks wonderful and surprisingly, up to now I’ve just been using hacked together free software for this. Looking forward to finally upping my SQL game!
@bogomep Thanks Bogomil! We really like DataGrip and it's very powerful, but we think it's missing a lot of modern features and there's a steep learning curve. We want to do what Figma did to improve on Photoshop and make Arctype much more accessible to developers through a clean design, collaboration, and with a UI that's easy to learn :)
In some ways, Arctype UX is inspired from linear project mgmt app
Finally tools @ workplace are getting better at UX.
Congrats on the launch!
Hope to see more dbs like SQLite, Coredata (iOS) it opens up the tool for Apple ecosystem.
@eden_lane Thanks Eden, let us know how you like it!

I've had the opportunity to write for Arctype and use the application. I must confess that it has a very sleek and simple but efficient feeling to it. it's built the way I would picture my ideal database client.
