Wake Download

Local-first · Desktop-native

A database workbench
for humans & AI agents.

Wake is a fast, schema-aware desktop IDE for Postgres and the systems around it. Your queries, credentials, and data stay on your machine — every statement is reviewed before it runs.

01 — Workbench

Query like you mean it.

A real editor with statement-level execution, Explain, history, and result inspection. No web tab to refresh, no session timeout, no surprise CSV truncation. Multi-engine notebooks let you join a Postgres query, a Redis lookup, and a chart in the same canvas.

  • Statement classification — SELECT vs DDL vs DML, color-coded confirmations
  • Per-connection history, scoped and searchable
  • Export to CSV, TSV, SQLite, INSERT scripts, Parquet
  • Notebook cells across SQL, Markdown, Redis, Mongo, Kafka tail, and Chart

02 — Schema-aware

Know the shape of your data.

Wake reads your schema, indexes, roles, settings, and replication state, and surfaces the parts that matter. Anti-pattern detection flags the things you'd otherwise find in production at 2am — oversized varchars, low-cardinality text columns, missing indexes on foreign keys.

  • Tables, columns, indexes, foreign keys, constraints, triggers
  • Replication lag, role grants, server settings, locks
  • Anti-pattern detection driven by pg_stats — no extra load
  • Per-engine status: Redis, Mongo, Kafka, RabbitMQ

03 — Agents

Built for AI that actually touches your database.

LLMs are excellent at writing SQL and catastrophic at owning the consequences. Wake puts a typed, schema-aware layer between an agent and your production database — and a human review step in front of every write.

Schema as context, not guesswork.

Agents see your real tables, columns, types, and constraints. No hallucinated joins, no fabricated columns.

→

Reviewed before it runs.

Every statement is classified — SELECT, DDL, DML — and routed through an approval surface you can see and audit.

→

Local execution, local credentials.

Your database connection strings never leave the desktop. Agents propose; Wake executes locally against your network.

04 — Coverage

Postgres at the center. The systems around it, in the same workspace.

Today

A workbench engineers reach for daily.

Fast SQL, real schema inspection, exports, history. Local, native, quick.

Next

A control plane for data workflows.

Guardrails, observability, and policy around every human and agent that touches your data.
