- • Direct connection to your existing PostgreSQL database
- • Built-in RLS policy editor — manage security from the UI
- • Self‑host anywhere — deploy on Docker, Railway, Fly, or bare metal

What makes Rebase different
Features no other Postgres admin tool gives you — all in one open-source framework.
Built-in SQL Editor
Autocomplete, EXPLAIN visualization, inline result editing, and snippet favorites — without leaving the admin panel. No other admin tool has this.
RLS Policy Management
Create, edit, and test Postgres row-level security policies from a visual UI. Define dynamic policies in TypeScript.
Schema Inference
Point Rebase at your Postgres database and get a full admin panel instantly. No schemas to define, no config files to write.
React Extensibility
Not a low-code black box. Custom fields, entity views, or entire pages — build it in React, drop it into Rebase.
Self‑Host Anywhere
React SPA + Node.js backend. Deploy on Docker, Railway, Fly, or bare metal. Your data never leaves your infrastructure.
REST & GraphQL APIs
Every collection gets auto-generated type-safe REST and GraphQL endpoints. No extra config needed.
Rebase vs the alternatives
How Rebase compares to common Postgres admin tools.
Rebase wins against Retool if you need…
- • Complete control with React & TypeScript (no low-code lock-in)
- • Freedom from expensive per-seat licensing
- • Clean, version-controlled code backing your UI
- • A true open-source foundation
Rebase wins against Supabase Studio if you need…
- • To connect to YOUR existing Postgres (not a BaaS)
- • Deep UI customization and custom React views
- • A full back-office framework, not just a data browser
- • Zero platform lock-in — deploy anywhere
Rebase wins against Directus & Strapi if you need…
- • A true Postgres-native schema without opaque data wrappers
- • To build upon an existing database instead of starting from scratch
- • Visual SQL query editing and built-in EXPLAIN plans
- • Native Postgres Row-Level Security (RLS) instead of app-level permissions
Rebase wins against Django & Laravel Nova if you need…
- • An admin panel instantly inferred from your database schema
- • A modern, snappy React UI instead of full-page server reloads
- • Built-in realtime updates and websockets without extra setup
- • A decoupled architecture (standalone React SPA + Node API)
