Encrypted Connections
Every connection secured, credentials never stored in plaintext.
Free • macOS, Windows & Linux
rdSQL Desktop secures every database connection with native SSL/TLS handshakes and SSH tunnel support, and stores connection credentials encrypted at rest via the OS-native keychain — not a plaintext config file.
Native SSL/TLS
Handled by the same native async driver used for the connection itself — no separate proxy terminating TLS on your behalf.
SSH Tunneling
Reach databases that only accept connections from a bastion host, without a separate terminal tunnel command running in the background.
Encrypted Credential Storage
Passwords and keys are stored via the OS-native keychain, encrypted at rest — never a plaintext connections file.
Zero Telemetry by Default
Credentials, query logs, and record sets never touch any cloud server unless you opt in to encrypted sync.
Native Rust Performance
A native async driver pool built for low-latency queries — not an Electron wrapper.
One Workspace, Every Feature
Encrypted Connections sits right next to every other tool in the same app — no switching windows.
