TurboSQL is back. After a pause since May 2025, development has resumed with a strong focus on performance, UX polish, and long-term foundations.
This release is not about one big feature, but about making it feel fast, modern, and more reliable. And preparing the terrain for more features to come!
Updated the UI to a more modern and consistent look
Standardized components across the app
Major performance improvements:
Reduced unnecessary re-renders
Heavily optimized Zustand selectors
Switched to lighter dependencies and upgraded packages
Heavy components now load only when needed
Much faster and smoother when working with large tables or large query results
Improved UX across the app to behave more like a proper SQL IDE
Extract database version and store it in the DB schema (used for better AI context)
Reduced final build size from ~570MB to ~470MB
Added support to BYOK for all users
Supported providers: OpenAI, OpenRouter, Anthropic, Grok, Gemini
Users can choose any model
Added usage tracking so users can see exactly how their API key is used
Fixed tab-closing behavior that caused unnecessary focus, reloads, and blinking
Removed animations that made the app feel slower
Added “output too large” handling for the JSON viewer to prevent app freezes
Added a binary viewer dialog for viewing or downloading images, videos, PDFs, and other binary data stored in the database
