Browse data with Studio

Rent Studio is a lightweight database browser built into the CLI. It inspects the live catalog, lists every schema and table, and displays rows without requiring a separate desktop database tool.

Start Studio with the configured database URL:

rent studio

Rent Studio

URL    http://127.0.0.1:5555
Mode   read only

Your browser opens automatically. Studio binds to 127.0.0.1, so it is available only from your machine. It starts in read-only mode and limits each request to at most 500 rows.

Edit local data

For deliberate local data repair or fixture setup, restart Studio with writes enabled:

rent studio --allow-writes

Double-click a cell and enter a JSON value. Studio validates the schema, table, and column against the inspected catalog, builds a parameterized update, and identifies the row using its complete primary key. Tables without a primary key remain read-only because they cannot be updated unambiguously.

Use Studio for development data. Production administration belongs behind your normal access controls, auditing, and operational tooling.
