LunoDB is a modern database client that lets developers talk to their databases in plain English. Launched in September 2025 by indie developer Timothy Murphy, LunoDB combines a polished native desktop experience with first-class AI features — write SQL by describing what you want, get instant data insights, visualize results, and optimize queries with a tap. It runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, and iOS, supports 8+ database engines, and ships with both cloud AI providers and private local AI via Ollama.
Long (3 paragraphs)~250 words
LunoDB is a modern, cross-platform database client designed to make database work feel effortless. Founded in 2025 by indie developer Timothy Murphy and shipped to v1.0 just two weeks after development began, LunoDB has grown to 90+ releases, 370+ features, and a fully featured iOS companion app — all built by one person. Where traditional database tools feel stuck in the past, LunoDB pairs a fast, native-feeling desktop experience with deep AI integration. Users can write SQL by describing what they want, generate charts automatically, get table-level insights, and optimize slow queries — all from inside the app. Privacy-conscious users can swap cloud providers for local models via Ollama, keeping every byte of data on-device. LunoDB supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Microsoft SQL Server, MariaDB, SQLite, Redis, and Turso, with SSH tunneling, SSL, multi-tab editing, version-controlled query history, and data visualization built in. The Pro version is a $10 one-time purchase — no subscriptions, no enterprise sales calls. The iOS app is completely free, with Android on the way. LunoDB is built with Electron, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS on desktop, and React Native + Expo on mobile.

Founder

LunoDB is a one-person company. Timothy is available for interviews and quotes.

Timothy Murphy, founder of LunoDB

Timothy Murphy

Founder & Solo Developer, LunoDB

Timothy is a full-stack developer with 15+ years of experience shipping software across iOS, desktop, and the web. He builds in public, documenting his AI-assisted workflow on YouTube, and turns ideas into shipped products in days rather than quarters. LunoDB grew out of frustration with existing database tools — too clunky for power users, too intimidating for everyone else.

"I built LunoDB because every database tool I tried felt like it was designed in 2008. I wanted something fast, beautiful, and that actually understood what I was trying to do. AI made the second part possible."

— Timothy Murphy, founder

Approved quotes

Free to attribute to Timothy Murphy, founder of LunoDB.

"Modern developers want tools that feel modern. LunoDB is what a database client looks like when you start fresh in the AI era."

— Timothy Murphy, Founder

"I’m one person, but I ship like a team. AI-assisted development means I can move at the speed of an indie developer with the surface area of a company."

— Timothy Murphy, Founder

"Privacy matters. That’s why LunoDB supports Ollama from day one — if you don’t trust the cloud with your schema, run AI locally instead."

— Timothy Murphy, Founder

"A one-time $10 price for a tool you use every day shouldn’t feel revolutionary. But in 2026, it kind of is."

— Timothy Murphy, Founder
