Making databases
accessible to everyone
Mathesar provides a spreadsheet-like interface to PostgreSQL databases. Built by a nonprofit, 100% open source.
Building Better Data Tools
At Mathesar Foundation, we believe working with data should be easy and accessible for everyone. Using databases shouldn't require technical expertise or expensive, closed-off tools. Databases are incredibly powerful, but they're often trapped behind complex interfaces that are hard to use or limit how people can access and share their data. We want to change that by building user-friendly tools that unlock the power of existing databases without sacrificing accessibility, portability, or extensibility.
Mathesar is our answer: an open-source platform designed to unlock the full potential of PostgreSQL, one of the most powerful and trusted open-source databases. Mathesar is easy to use, interoperable, and extensible, while also giving you complete control over your data. As a nonprofit, we're committed to keeping Mathesar 100% open source and available to everyone because better ways to work with data mean better decisions, and better decisions lead to a better world.

"I use Mathesar to track all sorts of things, from my Fiestaware collection to the books I read. We also use a shared server to keep track of collaborating on building Mathesar itself."

"Mathesar helps me maintain a personal diary! My anime watching habits, exercise routine, work progress, social interactions etc. This helps me gain insights into my own behavior and lifestyle."

Core Maintainer
"I'm using Mathesar to store and analyze info I collect about various countries. e.g. cost of living, tax rates, population statistics, economic statistics, etc. I'm calling it the Country Comparator."

"I'm using Mathesar to enable better choices about which credit card to get. It allows me to update frequent changes such as credit card benefits, eligibility requirements, etc. quickly and share the updated data easily."
Zack Krida
Core Maintainer
"I'm using Mathesar as a training log for my rock climbing. I'm able to keep track of climbs in different areas, along with their difficulty. I used to use a spreadsheet, but frequently lost track of progress without real relationships connecting my data."
