Mathesar

Mathesar is an open source tool designed to provide a user-friendly, spreadsheet-like interface for PostgreSQL databases. It is web-based, allowing users and their collaborators to work with data independently and comfortably without needing technical skills. The interface is intuitive and similar to a spreadsheet, enabling rapid data entry, analysis, and validation.

Mathesar connects to existing PostgreSQL databases and integrates with various tools that work with Postgres, offering deep data exploration capabilities. It ensures data consistency and integrity, making it suitable for various use cases such as prototyping applications, managing collections, planning events, tracking projects, and publishing datasets.

Users can self-host Mathesar on their servers, providing full control over their data and the flexibility to migrate or switch between Mathesar and other tools as needed. The tool automatically guesses data types and maintains data integrity, reducing manual effort. Its straightforward UX includes help icons to guide users, ensuring that even those without database knowledge can effectively use the tool.

Mathesar is entirely open source, granting everyone access to its full feature set, and a cloud version is planned for the future. The platform emphasizes making databases more accessible and adaptable, allowing users to easily reconfigure data models and create unified views across multiple tables.
