Franchise

a sql notebook

Franchise is a lightweight but powerful SQL tool with a notebook interface. You can use it online at franchise.cloud.

• There's no sign up and no install
  • For editing CSVs, JSON, XLSX files, we've integrated js-xlsx, and sql.js so you can query data entirely locally in your browser
  • For connecting to PostgreSQL, MySQL, or BigQuery, just run a single command in your terminal to open a bridge that allows Franchise to directly connect to your database. Your data never touches a third party server.
• Chart with a single click
• Compare queries side by side
  • With our unique notebook layout engine, you can drag and drop cells on the same line to compare views.
