Connect to any SQLite database, browse tables, run queries, inspect schema. The lightweight Beekeeper Studio alternative that runs as a single binary with no electron overhead.
Every operation in Drifter is available through a JSON REST API. No SDK required — use curl, fetch, or any HTTP client.
GET /api/connections — list all connections with optional search and filter query parametersPOST /api/connections — create a new connection recordGET /api/connections/{id} — retrieve a single connection by IDPUT /api/connections/{id} — update an existing connectionDELETE /api/connections/{id} — remove a connectionGET /api/stats — aggregated statistics with status breakdownGET /api/health — health check endpoint for monitoringRun Drifter on any server where you can execute a binary. The dashboard is immediately available at localhost, and the REST API integrates with your existing scripts and workflows. No external dependencies to configure, no managed service to subscribe to.
The moment you store connections in someone else's cloud, you have accepted their terms, their pricing changes, and their uptime. Drifter puts that decision back in your hands with a standalone binary that runs anywhere you can run a Linux process.
GET /api/connections — List all connections. Supports ?q=keyword for search and ?status=value for filteringPOST /api/connections — Create a new connection. Send JSON with at least nameGET /api/connections/{id} — Fetch one connection by IDPUT /api/connections/{id} — Update fields on an existing connectionDELETE /api/connections/{id} — Remove a connectionGET /api/stats — Returns total count and breakdown by statusGET /api/health — Returns {"status":"ok"} for uptime monitoringPoint curl at /api/connections to interact with Drifter programmatically. The API follows predictable REST conventions: GET to list or fetch, POST to create, PUT to update, DELETE to remove. The response schema matches the internal data model exactly, so what you see in the dashboard is what the API returns.
