What is it?

Navop is a desktop application built with GPUI and Rust that puts database clients, SSH and local terminals, SFTP and FTP file management, port forwarding, server monitoring, RDP and VNC remote desktop, and local Markdown notes into one window. It supports a long list of databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, DuckDB, SQL Server, Oracle, ClickHouse, and several Chinese domestic databases, with extensions for MQTT, Docker workbenches, and other drivers.

The app also includes AI features for SQL generation, data analysis, and terminal assistance, plus an Agent Hub that combines a terminal agent with project files, Git branches, and diffs. Navop can expose selected tools to external MCP clients and agents such as Codex and Claude Code through a loopback-only server with permission profiles, and a companion @navop/cli package installs a bundled Skill.

Navop is distributed as prebuilt packages for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and can be built from source with Cargo. Its interface is available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
