Kiva Studio

Kiva Studio is the graphical client for KivaDB. Connect to a database on your computer or on a remote server, browse and edit its data, run commands, manage users and watch the server’s health. One code base for Windows, Linux and macOS, built with Flutter.

Early Access. Kiva Studio is fully functional and ready to use, but its public versioning has not started yet. The current build is an early-access release — free to download and use, and features may evolve based on feedback.

What you can do

Screen	Purpose
Connect	Host, port, user, password. Recent connections remembered (never passwords).
Data	Browse, filter, edit keys with validation. Set expiry. Live refresh on external changes.
Query	Build filters without writing commands. See the execution plan (index or scan). AI similarity search on embeddings.
Console	Full kivadb shell with history. Multi-line documents. Run .kva files with line tracking.
Activity	Live changes and alerts: fragmentation, integrity, replication, failed logins.
Users	Manage accounts, roles, passwords, workspace grants. Admin only.
Server	Keys, storage, replication, compression, integrity, maintenance operations.

Security

• TLS with certificate fingerprint verification (like SSH). Trust on first use.
• Password required for any remote connection (KivaDB enforces the same rule server-side).
• Three roles: admin, editor, viewer. The UI hides what a role cannot do; the server refuses it anyway.

Compatibility

Works with both KivaDB 2.0 and 1.x, adapting to the version the server announces:

• 2.0: workspaces grouped by project, date/datetime/time types, grant-based access, landing-workspace control.
• 1.x: flat workspace list, personal u_<name> workspace, the original seven types.

Platform support

• Windows — available now (Early Access build)
• Linux and macOS — planned
