Tusk is a native database client built in Rust using Zed's GPUI framework. It skips Electron entirely, using GPU-accelerated rendering to keep tables with millions of rows scrolling smoothly while connecting to everything from Postgres to Redis.
It is worth trying if you are tired of sluggish web-view tools and want a keyboard-driven interface with local credential storage. The catch is that it is still young, so you will likely hit missing edge cases depending on which obscure engines or workflows you rely on.
