RelateDB

Offline-first database schema designer in your browser

Website relatedb.com
Overview

What it is

RelateDB is an offline-first, browser-based database schema designer. Model tables and relationships visually, import SQL or DBML, auto-arrange diagrams, and export SQL/DBML or images. No accounts, no cloud, no limits—everything runs locally in your browser for fast, frictionless schema design. Optional Cloud Sync with PRO

Intent

I need it when

Share a database diagram with stakeholders for review

RelateDB can export the canvas as PNG, JPG, or SVG images and generate read-only public share links (including snapshots), allowing designers or developers to share schema diagrams with non-technical stakeholders without granting edit access.

Collaborate with a remote team on database schema design

RelateDB Pro lets users invite teammates by email as editors or viewers per workspace, with cloud sync propagating changes automatically across all devices — enabling async team collaboration on shared schemas without additional setup.

Import an existing SQL or DBML schema to visualize and refine it

RelateDB accepts SQL CREATE TABLE statements and DBML imports, renders them on the canvas for visual editing, and allows re-export to Postgres/MySQL SQL or DBML — making it easy to reverse-engineer and improve an existing schema.

Design a database schema visually before writing any code

RelateDB provides a visual ERD canvas where users can create tables, columns, and relationships as nodes and edges, all offline in the browser with no account required — letting developers draft and iterate on schema structure before touching a database.

Track schema versions and generate migration SQL between versions

RelateDB supports named snapshots, visual diffs between versions, and export of Postgres/MySQL migration SQL between any two snapshots or against the current schema — giving solo developers a lightweight version-control workflow for schema changes.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • You need real-time multiplayer editing without upgrading to Pro (free tier is local-only).
  • Your team requires an on-premise or self-hosted collaboration server with no cloud dependency.
  • You need a full database management tool that also executes queries and manages live data, not just schema design.
  • You require integrations with BI tools, ORM code generation, or CI/CD pipelines out of the box.
  • You are looking for a desktop-installed native application rather than a browser-based tool.
  • Your workflow demands advanced diagramming features beyond ERDs, such as UML class diagrams or flowcharts.
