About
Joinery is an MIT-licensed desktop database workbench for SQL Server, PostgreSQL and MySQL, built with Electron and React. It is a fork of MemberJunction/Forge.
These docs
Section titled “These docs”This site is the user documentation. It covers installing Joinery, connecting to a database, and using the app. It is deliberately not a second copy of the developer documentation, which stays in the repository:
CONTRIBUTING.md— development setup, commit conventions, the PR process, and the code-style rules.docs/ARCHITECTURE.md— the process model, the IPC boundary, and the multi-engine SQL layer.docs/brand/— the brand kit: the mark, the lockups, the palette, the typefaces, and the usage rules. Both the app and this site are built from those tokens.
Releases
Section titled “Releases”Every release, with its notes and its installers, is on GitHub Releases. v1.0.0 (3 September 2026) is the first. See Install for the Homebrew command, the direct downloads, and building from source.
