Base SQLite Editor 3.3.0 for Mac
Mac Developer ToolsBase is an SQLite database editor for macOS from Menial. It is built for people who work with the SQLite databases inside apps and projects and want a proper native interface instead of the command line: you can create databases, design tables, browse and edit data, and run queries, all in a tidy Mac window. The current version is Base 3.3.0, released in March 2026, which added Quick Look previews for SQLite databases in the Finder.
Key Features
- Create, open, browse and edit SQLite databases in a native macOS interface
- Table schema editor for designing and changing database structure
- Custom SQL editor with autocompletion for running your own queries
- Quick Look previews showing tables, views, triggers and indexes for a selected database file
- Available direct from Menial, on the Mac App Store and through Setapp
How to Download
- Note that Base 3 requires macOS 15 or later, so check your system version first.
- Download from the official site, where Menial posts each release and its download links.
- Install Base, open one of your SQLite files, and explore its tables and schema before making changes to a copy.
System Requirements
Base 3 requires macOS 15 or later and still supports Intel Macs as well as Apple silicon. It is a lightweight developer tool, so storage and memory needs are small; the databases you open matter more than the app itself.
FAQs
Do I need to know SQL to use Base?
No. Browsing, searching and editing data and schemas is done visually. If you do know SQL, the custom query editor with autocompletion is there when you want it.
Where can I buy Base?
Menial sells it directly, and it is also on the Mac App Store and Setapp. Buy through one of those official channels; this post does not offer any modified version.
