Open source · macOS, Linux in preview
Your databases, with AI alongside
Oxyn is a desktop app to explore and query your databases. AI agents work alongside you, never in your place: they propose, you decide.
macOS (Apple Silicon), and Linux on x86_64 and ARM64 in preview, for now. No build for Windows or Intel Macs. All releases on GitHub
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL and MariaDB
- SQLite
Oxyn in under a minute: exploring a database, running a query, and the guardrails around a write in production.
The assistant's answers in this video were written for it, not generated by a model.

Short videos of Oxyn's capabilities, animated on a rebuilt copy of its interface. The interface stays in English.
Each console has its own session and runs the statement under the cursor. Results stream in batches; save the query by name.
Databases
Three drivers ship today, all of them in the release you download.
On the roadmap
DuckDB, MongoDB, Redis, Snowflake, vector and graph databases, among others, are planned. They are not available today.
3 of 3 databases
| Database | Explain command | Driver (source) |
|---|---|---|
| PostgreSQL | EXPLAIN | oxyn-driver-postgres |
| MySQL and MariaDB | EXPLAIN | oxyn-driver-mysql |
| SQLite | EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN | oxyn-driver-sqlite |
AI alongside you
Optional, and limited to what you allow.
You decide
An agent's queries go through the same policy as yours: its reads run, its writes wait for your approval, showing the exact SQL and the target connection.
Your provider
Anthropic, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (OpenAI, Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp), or Claude Code and Codex, already signed in on your machine and launched confined: their file and shell tools removed.
One agent per conversation
SQL writes, fixes and explains queries. Schema explains a structure and spots its inconsistencies. Add your own as Markdown files.
Diagrams and charts
The assistant draws ER diagrams from the tables Oxyn has read, and the result of an agent’s query can switch to a chart when its columns allow it.
No provider required
Without a provider or an external agent, the AI workspace is absent and Oxyn remains a complete client.
What reaches the provider, connection by connection
- LocalNothing leaves the machine. Local model only.
- MetadataDefaultDDL, names, types, indexes, cardinalities and execution plans. No row values.
- SampledThe same, plus a sample of rows you approve column by column.
Local semantic rankingPreview
Optional embeddings, computed on your CPU, choose which tables are described to the model. Off by default: the model is downloaded only when you turn it on, and this step sends nothing.
Measured, and dated
Numbers from Oxyn’s dated measurement campaigns, each against its budget. No comparison with other clients: none has been measured.
2.6 ms
First batch from SQLite, whatever the table size
6.70 µs
Expanding a cached catalog node, at 10,000 relations
4.5 µs
Reading back a 512-row page spilled to disk, from a warm page cache
Budget: one page read, never a re-execution
Measured on September 14, 2026. Read the campaign
+195 MiB
Process memory growth (RSS) with 2 GiB pushed through one result
These figures measure Oxyn’s core (drivers, result buffer, catalog), not the interface, which has not been measured yet.

Open source
The code is public. Read it, build it, check what this page says against it.
- The application is under GPL-3.0-or-later.
- The four crates a driver links against are under Apache-2.0: a driver author chooses their own license.

Download Oxyn
The packages of every release are published on GitHub.
Automatic updatesPreview
Oxyn downloads a new release in the background and installs it when you quit, for the macOS app (installed, not run from its disk image) and the AppImage. A .deb or .rpm is updated by your package manager.
