About Mathesar

Mathesar is a web application that makes working with PostgreSQL databases both simple and powerful. It empowers users of all technical skill levels to view, edit, query, and collaborate on data with a familiar spreadsheet-like interface—no code needed. It has native database-level access control, can be deployed in minutes, and works directly with PostgreSQL databases, schemas, and tables without extra abstractions. The project is 100% open source and maintained by Mathesar Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Our mission

At Mathesar Foundation, we believe working with data should be easy and accessible for everyone. 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.

Why support us?

Mathesar is fully open source, licensed under GPLv3, and built with a commitment to transparency and collaboration. Our code has no hidden features or paywalls. We are committed to always being 100% open source and self-hostable. Mathesar is built and maintained by a global, remote team at the Mathesar Foundation, a small US-based 501 (c)(3) nonprofit.

Your financial support will help invest in Mathesar's development and growth and ensure that Mathesar thrives for years to come.
