QueryGlass renders EXPLAIN output as an interactive node graph — not a wall of text. The difference between catching a Seq Scan at 2 AM and waking up your on-call engineer.

Role-based access isn't a feature you configure in a separate admin panel. In QueryGlass, it's the first thing you set when you create a connection. Hand a read-only link to an analyst, not a loaded psql shell.

“I gave three junior engineers read-only access to staging on day one. They shipped their first queries without touching anything they shouldn't. That's the onboarding dream.”

“The audit log means I can tell exactly who ran which query, when, and on which connection. For our SOC 2 audit this saved us two weeks of manual log parsing.”

Local-first.
Your query content never touches our servers.
Not in transit. Not in logs. Not ever.
QueryGlass is an offline-capable desktop app. Connection credentials live in your OS keychain. Query history is stored in an encrypted local SQLite file. We don't run a backend that could be breached to expose your production database topology.
