SQLite Viewer — DBConvert

Get it for macOS

Opens .db, .sqlite and .sqlite3 files from chat links as tables, so you can check what an agent wrote without leaving the thread. Agents in the thread can list the tables of the open file and run read-only queries on it, so their answers come from the file. Draws an ER diagram from the foreign keys and runs an integrity check on open. SQLite runs as WebAssembly in the panel, and the file is never uploaded. Exporting the diagram, or more than 10,000 rows of a result, needs DBConvert PRO ($9 a month).


Overview

View source

What you get

  • Schema tree with row counts, column types, indexes, views and triggers.
  • Data grid for every table and view, paged to the last row.
  • SQL tab for read-only SELECT and WITH queries.
  • ER diagram drawn from the declared foreign keys.
  • Integrity check on open, with the page size, encoding and SQLite version the file was read with.

Agents

In a Claude Code or Codex thread, the agent gets three tools: sqlite_list_tables, sqlite_describe_table and sqlite_run_select. They work on the file open in the viewer, read-only, and return at most 100 rows a query.

Ask AI puts a question about the open file into the thread's message box, for you to send.

Where the file goes

Nowhere. bb streams the file from the machine that holds it into the panel, where SQLite compiled to WebAssembly reads it.

The plugin calls one outside service. With a DBConvert API key set, it asks the DBConvert licensing service which PRO features the account has.

Free and PRO

Viewing, SQL and exporting up to 10,000 rows are free. DBConvert PRO ($9 a month) adds diagram export to PNG and SVG, and exporting a whole result.

To unlock PRO, enter the API key from https://streams.dbconvert.com/account in the plugin's settings.

Also available

The same viewer runs in VS Code, in Chrome and on the web: https://streams.dbconvert.com/sqlite-viewer

File ManagerManage the files on the machine bb runs on without a terminal: browse, upload, move, rename, extract and hand them to the agent. Opens as a sidebar page, as a tab beside a thread that can start in that thread's folder, and from a file link in a message. Double-click shows images, PDF, video, Markdown and code; Space looks inside zip, tar, 7z and rar archives without extracting them. Multi-gigabyte uploads resume after a dropped connection, and several files or a whole folder download as one zip. On a phone, selected rows get an Actions bar with the whole row menu. Access stays inside the home folder of the user bb runs as; tar, 7z and rar archives need tar and 7z on that machine.Foma554
FilesA VS Code-style file explorer and editor for the workspace behind a thread. Search in files finds a word across every file in the project: results are grouped by file with each hit highlighted, and clicking one opens the file on that line. It is smart case, with match-case, whole-word and regex toggles, and built for typing — file contents stay in memory between searches, so refining a query re-runs in tens of milliseconds, and a regex runs in its own worker so a runaway pattern cannot freeze BB. Around it: a file tree that shows dotfiles, editor tabs, a go-to-file palette (Cmd+P), find in the open file (Cmd+F), syntax highlighting in your BB code theme, and edit and save guarded so a change an agent made underneath you is never clobbered. Markdown files open rendered, with the source and the editor one click away. Two pickers choose the project and then its checkout or one of its worktrees; beside a thread it is pinned to that thread's worktree. Adds a `bb files` command so agents can browse and read the same workspace from the CLI, on whichever machine it lives.AbdElrahman Telb402
