Editions of Beekeeper Studio

Beekeeper Studio is a single download with in-app upgrades for premium features.

We'd love to make Beekeeper Studio totally free for everyone, but building good software is hard work and expensive. We think our paid editions are fairly priced, I hope you do too.

Beekeeper Studio Features

Top feature: It's smooth ๐Ÿซ, fast ๐ŸŽ, and you'll actually enjoy using it ๐Ÿฅฐ

  • Truly cross-platform: Windows, MacOS, and Linux
  • Autocomplete SQL query editor with syntax highlighting
  • Tabbed interface, so you can multitask
  • Sort and filter table data to find just what you need
  • Sensible keyboard-shortcuts
  • Save queries for later
  • Query run-history, so you can find that one query you got working 3 days ago
  • Great dark theme
  • Import/export
  • Backup/restore
  • View data as JSON
  • Loads more

Our approach to UX

One of our frustrations with other open-source SQL editors and database managers is that they take a 'kitchen sink' approach to features, adding so many features that the UI becomes cluttered and hard to navigate. We wanted a good looking, open source SQL workbench that's powerful, but also easy to use. We couldn't find one, so we created Beekeeper Studio!

Generally our guiding star is to only build software that 'feels good' to use. That means at the very least we value Beekeeper being fast, straightforward to use, and modern. If a new feature compromises this vision, we kill it.

Supporting Beekeeper Studio

We love working on Beekeeper Studio, and we'd love to keep growing and improving it forever. To do that I need your help.

The best way to support Beekeeper Studio is to purchase a paid license. Every purchase directly supports our work on Beekeeper Studio.

If you're at a business and using Beekeeper Studio for your job, you should probably get your boss to buy you a license.

If you can't afford a license, please use the free version, that's why we make a free version!

Thank you for your continued support!

# Now you can start the app:
yarn run electron:serve ## the app will now start

If you get error:03000086:digital envelope routines::initialization error, you'll have to update openssl.

  • On Ubuntu/Debian:
text
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade openssl
  • On CentOS/RHEL:
text
sudo yum update openssl
  • On macOS (using Homebrew):
text
brew update
brew upgrade openssl

Where to make changes?

This repo is now a monorepo, we have several places with code, but only really a couple of important entry points.

All app code lives in apps/studio, some shared code lives in shared/src. This is shared with other apps.

Beekeeper Studio has two entry points:

  • background.js - this is the electron-side code that controls native things like showing windows.
  • main.js - this is the entry point for the Vue.js app. You can follow the Vue component breadcrumbs from App.vue to find the screen you need.

Generally we have two 'screens':

  • ConnectionInterface - connecting to a DB
  • CoreInterface - interacting with a database

How to submit a change?

  • Push your changes to your repository and open a Pull Request from our github page (this page)
  • Make sure to write some notes about what your change does! A gif is always welcome for visual changes.

Maintainer notes (casual readers can ignore this stuff)

Upgrading Electron Gotchas

This is always a total pain and will break the build 9/10.

Some things you need to consider when upgrading Electron:

  1. Does it use a different node version. Eg Electron-18 uses node 14, 22 uses node 16. So everyone needs to upgrade
  2. Does node-abi need to be upgraded to be able to understand the electron version? This is used in the build to fetch prebuilt packages. You need to upgrade this in root/package.json#resolutions
  3. Were any APIs deprecated or removed? Make sure all features that interact with the Electron APIs still work, stuff like - selecting a file, maximizing a window, running a query, etc.

Release Process

  1. Up the version number in package.json
  2. Replace build/release-notes.md with the latest release notes. Follow the format that is there.
  • run git log <last-tag>..HEAD --oneline | grep 'Merge pull' to find PRs merged
  1. Commit
  2. Push to master
  3. Create a tag git tag v<version>. It must start with a 'v'
  4. git push origin <tagname>
  • Now wait for the build/publish action to complete on Github
  1. Push the new release live
  • Go to the new 'draft' release on the releases tab of github, edit the notes, publish
  • Log into snapcraft.io, drag the uploaded release into the 'stable' channel for each architecture.

This should also publish the latest docs

Post Release:

  1. Copy release notes to a blog post, post on website
  2. Tweet link
  3. Share on LinkedIn
  4. Send to mailing list on SendInBlue

Big Thanks

Beekeeper Studio wouldn't exist without Sqlectron-core, the core database libraries from the Sqlectron project. Beekeeper Studio started as an experimental fork of that repository. A big thanks to @maxcnunes and the rest of the Sqlectron community.
