Full honesty - I really have a hard time seeing the need for things like this on mobile.

This is a very fair point.

I'm not trying to replace desktops with mobile here. I think database administration is still going to be easier with a big monitor and a keyboard, and that's not going to change.

Rather I'm trying to open up database administration to people who don't have desktops, or who are more comfortable working on their phones.

Or sometimes a phone is what you have and you need access.

Looks like very nice UI model, it’s not an easy problem to solve. Also one of the few times a portrait YT video is wholly appropriate.

You might be a little ahead of the times, but I think you're keyed into something with this.
I, as an indie hacker/developer, have had countless times where I need to access db from mobile. I have even logged in via terminal to get to psql.

Sadly this specific app doesn't seem very polished or useful.

Hi, developer of the app here. If you don't mind me asking, what is the biggest thing missing from the app that keeps it from being useful?
People can mirror mobile screen to TV/Monitor and still use it.

With the tri-fold mobiles and Samsung Dex like feature coming, that day may not be far when mobile become the single work machine.

I suppose having quick access to a database in case of emergency without having to rush to a computer, similar to how some people treat having SSH clients on their phones.
I could see myself using it from time to time ... I'm _just_ nerdy enough to even do it in public!
