Trace — see what your database is doing
Arm the activity monitor and it gains a memory: record the last minutes of everything running, then scrub the timeline back to the moment things slowed down. Queries that finish in under a second slip past the live view, so a Top tab reads pg_stat_statements ranked by total time. See a live tree of who's blocking whom and kill any session from the graph — and Lily's local AI explains the root cause of a slow query in plain language, entirely offline.

Speed up a slow query in one click
Point Lily at a slow query and it proposes one index, applies it with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY so writes never block, and shows the estimated cost before and after so you can see it worked. The plan and the query stay on your machine — the AI only ever sees the redacted statement, never a single row of data.

Your database has a tour guide
Lily explains the business behind your schema: cryptic names become recognizable entities, grouped into areas you can explore. See what a table does, follow its relationships, and open the data or a ready-to-use query idea. A guided tour in your language, with a curious companion and the occasional terrible joke. It remembers its analysis and updates what changed.
✧ ⌁The whole story, for the curious.
A closer look at what makes Lily DB tick.
+
Lily DB brings PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, Redis, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Trino, and ClickHouse together under one beautifully designed macOS interface — nothing to set up, no daemons to babysit. You get fast schema browsing, a responsive SQL editor with in-place sort and filter, inline data editing with staged changes, foreign-key navigation, schema diff & sync, and a one-click Health Check. Its local AI reads your schema to explain the business behind it, answers questions in plain language, and makes it searchable — "where do we store refunds?" jumps you to the table. And it's safe by default: a pre-write blast-radius preview shows the exact rows a write will touch before it runs, and a PII scan flags and redacts sensitive columns before any AI ever sees your data.
