Your data, your machine
Offline-first. No cloud account. No telemetry. Files live in your git repo.
Yes. PgDesigner is open source under the Apache License 2.0. Use it at work, in CI, for client projects, or in your own product — no license key, no seat count, no registration.
A private email channel with a response within 2 business days, bugs reported by your team handled first, and help with migrating existing models from MicroOLAP Database Designer, DbSchema, Toad Data Modeler, or a live PostgreSQL database. You get an invoice for your accounting.
You pay for our time, not for the right to use the software: guaranteed responses, faster fixes for the issues that block your team, and a say in what we build next. It also funds PgDesigner's development.
