SQLite Viewer Web is a free, browser-based SQLite database explorer for developers and data analysts to inspect .sqlite files entirely client-side without installation or data upload.

---

🚀 Overview

SQLite Viewer Web is a lightweight, privacy-focused web app that lets you open and explore SQLite databases directly in your browser. Inspired by DB Browser for SQLite and Airtable, it provides a fast, intuitive interface for quick inspections with features like sorting, filtering, and full-text search—all running client-side to keep your data private.

What problem does this project solve? It addresses the need for a no-install, cross-platform SQLite viewer that doesn't require uploading files to servers or dealing with desktop software setup, making it ideal for quick peeks at databases on any device.

Who is it built for? Developers debugging apps using SQLite, data analysts reviewing dumps, and anyone needing a portable tool for .sqlite files.

Why did you build it? Originally stemming from a popular VS Code extension, it was created to offer a standalone web version for broader accessibility and convenience.
