Why data-peek

  • Fast. Opens in about two seconds and stays light on memory. No splash screens, no project setup.
  • Keyboard-first. Cmd/Ctrl+K reaches every action. Every shortcut is documented.
  • Local and private. Credentials are encrypted with your OS keychain. No telemetry, no account, no cloud sync.
  • Grows with the task. A quick SELECT stays quick, and query plans, live diffs, ER diagrams, and an AI assistant are there when the job gets bigger.

Install

Platform Command
macOS, Linux curl -fsSL https://install.cat/Rohithgilla12/data-peek | sh
Windows (PowerShell) irm https://install.cat/Rohithgilla12/data-peek | iex
macOS (Homebrew) brew install --cask Rohithgilla12/tap/data-peek

Or grab a build from Releases: .dmg for macOS (signed and notarised), .exe for Windows, and .AppImage, .deb, or .tar.gz for Linux.

Platform notes

macOS. Builds are signed and notarised, so they open without warnings. The quick installer installs the matching .dmg and clears the quarantine flag for you. If an older manual install says the app is "damaged", run xattr -cr "/Applications/Data Peek.app".

Linux. The AppImage and the .deb update themselves; .tar.gz installs need a manual download for each new release. The quick installer puts the AppImage at ~/.local/bin/data-peek. The .deb installs to /opt/data-peek with an AppArmor profile, which Ubuntu 24.04+ needs for Electron's sandbox.

No install: npx @data-peek/cli doctor

Eight Postgres schema checks from the terminal. Each finding comes with the SQL that fixes it.

npx @data-peek/cli doctor postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/app
npx @data-peek/cli doctor "$DATABASE_URL" --fail-on warning   # fail CI on warnings

It finds tables without a primary key, foreign keys without an index, duplicate, unused, and invalid indexes, bloat, never-vacuumed tables, and nullable foreign keys. These are the same checks as Schema Intel in the app. See packages/cli.
