VetroLog: Mobile & Remote Database Studio for VS Code
VetroLog brings high-performance database inspection, real-time live synchronization, and interactive schema modeling directly into Visual Studio Code.
Inspect mobile SQLite databases (Flutter, React Native, Android) over ADB in real time, connect to production SQL & NoSQL engines (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MSSQL, Redis), double-click workspace SQLite files, and visualize relationships with auto-generated ER diagrams—without leaving your editor.
