Postgres, running

Rust and GPUI, in Zed’s One Dark colours. About 67 MB of memory when idle, with no JVM, Chromium or Node runtime inside.

Agents welcome

sawit-mcp gives AI agents 110 tools: instances, SQL, ports, git, the terminal and the browser. Destructive tools ask for the name again.

Good to know

Do I need Docker?

No. Sawit uses PostgreSQL from Homebrew, Postgres.app or your PATH, or downloads PostgreSQL 16, 17 or 18 itself.

Which Macs does it run on?

Apple Silicon, macOS only. Sawit leans on the Keychain, lsof, AVPlayer and CoreGraphics.

Why does macOS say it cannot verify Sawit?

Sawit is not notarized yet. The install script avoids the warning. With the DMG, right-click Sawit.app and choose Open once.

Where do my passwords go?

Into the macOS Keychain, never a file. The table browser reads over a separate read-only connection.

How does it update?

After the first install the app updates itself. Put SAWIT_VERSION=v0.0.8 before sh to install a given version.

Can I edit a single cell in the grid?

Not yet. The grid deletes rows or sets one column on the rows you select; single cells go through the SQL editor.
