& others†Upgrade to Unlock Exclusive PRO Workflows
With its deep integration into VS Code, SQLite Viewer PRO enables new workflows with unmatched convenience and speed.
Re-Engineered From the Ground Up for PRO Demands
You can think of the PRO version as SQLite Viewer 2. It's not just feature flags, but a completely new engine under the hood. Comes with SQLite failover guarantees and large file support.
Native SQLite Client
The PRO version uses the official SQLite implementation, which provides the full set of failover guarantees. The old read-only client remains as a fallback.
Unlimited File Size
All restrictions on file size are lifted, even during remote sessions. Only the data needed to render the UI is transferred to your local machine.
Ad-Free Experience
PRO customers enjoy an ad-free experience — perfect for screen sharing and recordings. Additionally, PRO customers receive an exclusive PRO icon (
) in the UI.
Includes Everything You Like About the Free Version
Upgrading to SQLite Viewer PRO is a seamless experience. Just enter the license key and you're good to go. In addition to new and exclusive PRO features, everything you like about the free version stays as is.
Performant UI
SQLite Viewer is built with performance in mind. It uses the best tools the web stack has to offer and is routinely tested on older hardware to ensure performance remains top-notch.
Matching Theme
Say goodbye to disjointed user interfaces. SQLite Viewer automatically adjusts to your VS Code theme and seamlessly blends into the existing VS Code experience.
One-Click Setup
SQLite Viewer doesn't rely on binaries on your machine. It ships its own, so that simply clicking 'Install' completes the setup. The entire extension weighs only 15 MB.
Works Anywhere
Whether you're using Cursor, VS Codium, CodeSandbox, GitPod, Google IDX, or other VS Code forks, SQLite Viewer adapts to its environment and provides as many features as possible.
Owner Operated
SQLite Viewer is crafted by a single, dedicated developer. It enjoys a coherent vision and attention to detail that is rarely found in purely commercial products.
Local-First Privacy
SQLite Viewer keeps your data in your workspace. Open real database files on disk—no account required and no separate hosted app between you and your data.

v26.2.5 Preview
PRO Fixed an issue that prevented inline foreign key previews from resolvingPRO Inline FK content no longer loads for collapsed items (only loads when expanded).
v26.2.4 Preview
PRO Markdown Preview
Columns that store markdown can now be viewed with a rendered preview in the row detail modal. A switch lets you toggle between plain text and the rendered view; You can treat any TEXT column as markdown by cycling its type in the column header (same gesture as for date/datetime). Declared types such as TEXT MARKDOWN or MDTEXT are recognized by default.
When you open a cell in a markdown column in VS Code, the file opens with a .md extension by default, so the editor uses markdown highlighting and tooling without relying on language detection.
Additions
PRO Backspace now sets the focused column to NULL for all selected rowsPRO In the row detail modal, date/time columns now show the same date display as in the table
Changes
- Resized textarea heights are now remembered for the duration of the session
- Opening a DB now selects the first table (not the first item, which could be a view)
PRO All buttons that cycle properties now reset to their default value on right-clickPRO Pragma Editor Optimize action now defaults to "Dry Run"PRO Date/raw toggle in modal is now per column
Fixes
PRO Batch edit in row detail now updates all selected rows correctlyPRO Fixed an issue where editing a cell via "Open in VS Code" could leave the selection stuck on "No row selected"- Ctrl+A (Cmd+A) in sidebar inputs selects all text in that input only
- View row counts in the explorer show "∞" ("N/A") for unopened views instead of 0
PRO Deprecated pragmas are no longer shown in the Pragma Editor

An input field will open at the top of the VS Code window. Paste the license key and hit enter. A system dialog will confirm the activation within a few seconds.
