About Basepanel
A cross-platform database client for iOS, Android, and macOS. Connect to Neon, Supabase, Turso, and more, or work with local SQLite. Your data stays on your device. Connect to cloud providers or work with local databases using an intuitive mobile-optimized interface, on-device intelligence, and zero data collection or processing. On supported devices, on-device models generate SQL and views from your existing data, and can create custom local databases from a plain-language prompt. All inference runs on your hardware, so schemas and queries never leave the device.
