Description
Base is for creating, designing, editing and browsing SQLite 3 database files.
It's small, powerful and comfortable - a proper macOS application that's fast to launch and quick to get you to the data you need.
Base starts with all the essential features you need:
• A clear schema inspector for visualizing table structures
• Intuitive table contents viewing and editing
• A powerful SQL editor with intelligent autocomplete and syntax highlighting
• Command logging and query history
Then makes it all even better:
• A visual table designer - Create and modify tables without writing complex CREATE or ALTER statements. Add columns, define constraints, and organize your database structure through a clean, intuitive interface
• Multiple database support - Work with multiple attached databases simultaneously for complex projects
• Support for advanced SQLite features - Full support for WITHOUT ROWID tables, STRICT tables, partial indexes with WHERE clauses, named table constraints, and generated columns
• Code Snippets - Store your commonly used SQL as reusable snippets
• Comprehensive import & export - Import data from CSV and SQL files. Export to SQL, CSV, JSON, and Excel formats
• Complete constraint support - View and edit ALL column- and table-level constraints, from simple default values to complex foreign key relationships
Note: By default, Base 3 runs in "Free mode" where advanced features are not available. To unlock these advanced features, there is a one-time purchase fee.

Ratings and Reviews
Wonderful attention to detail
Base really nails the UX/UI details for a simple database app. You can really feel the native SwiftUI and AppKit components used throughout; it’s very snappy and intuitive on macOS. The app is also performant, so clearly things seem to be working under the hood too. Overall highly recommended! Particular kudos for the interface to add constraints, I love the use of color-coded letter symbols.
