# alpcanaydin/tusk

> A native macOS database client built in Rust on GPUI: supports 20 databases, an editable data grid, a SQL editor, and an AI assistant that writes queries but never runs them itself.

- Magnitude: 4.8 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 105 total · +12 stars today, ≈ 50 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Developer tools · Language: Rust · License: MIT · Created: 2026-09-28 · Last push: 2026-09-29
- GitHub: https://github.com/alpcanaydin/tusk · Homepage: https://github.com/alpcanaydin/tusk/releases/latest · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/alpcanaydin/tusk

## Useful for

- Connect to PostgreSQL or ClickHouse over an SSH tunnel and browse tables
- Edit cells in a table and save all changes in a single transaction
- Ask the AI assistant to write a SQL query from the schema and run it manually

## Why it’s here

- 12 stars so far today, about 50 expected by the end of the day.
- The spike has held for 2 days in a row — not a one-off blip.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 105 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #143.
- About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 6
- Issues and pull requests: 10
- Watchers: 3
- Average over the last week: 48 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
