OSSNative developer tools for macOS
Small, sharp tools. Built in the open.
Foxlume is a home for developer tools by Vu: native macOS apps that stay light, ask before they touch your data, and are honest about what is ready and what is not.

04/Why Foxlume Query
Checks before every write
Why Foxlume Query
One wrong statement on production is one too many. Foxlume Query checks a statement before it reaches the database: a DELETE without WHERE asks first, a write on a Production connection asks first, and a read-only connection is refused by the server itself.

How we build
How we build
Open source
Free software under the GNU AGPL. Read the code and build it yourself.

Real macOS apps written in Swift. No Electron, no browser engine, no runtime to install.
Safe by default
Tools that touch your data ask before they do anything risky.
Honest status
We say what works today, what is in progress and what is only a plan.
