Getting Started

RoverBase is cross-platform native desktop app with modern and clean interface.. This guide shows you how to connect and run queries in a few minutes.

1) Install RoverBase

Download and install RoverBase for your OS, then launch it. On first run, you’ll see an empty workspace with a connection panel.

2) Add your connection

You can connect to your database in two ways: using a connection form or connection URI.

Option A: Use the connection form

Click + then New Connection Choose your database type (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.) Fill in fields: Host, Port ,Username and Password, Database

RoverBase never syncs your connections or database data to our servers.

Enable SSL and/or SSH tunnel if your database requires it.

For SQLite database just choose the .db or .sqlite file.

Click Test then Save & Connect

Option B: Connect with a URI

If you already have a connection string, you can paste it directly.

Click + then New Connection then From URI RoverBase will auto-fill the fields (host, port, user, database). You can still edit options before saving and connecting.

3) Browse schemas and tables

After connecting, pick schemas or databases you want to work with, then browse database/tables and views in the sidebar. Expand table to see columns, indexes, triggers, etc

4) Run your query

Open a new SQL tab Open console. Write your query and Run it with Run or F5 . Results will appear below the editor.

5) Edit data

RoverBase supports inline data editing in table view (when your connection has write access). Double-click a cell and change the value. After editing, press ==🟣Commit==
