- AI Agent and Function Calling — AI agents can call tools to complete structured tasks, load skills through tools, and use improved resource pools, resource mentions, and catalog refreshes.
- HTML preview flow — HTML code blocks can be opened in the browser or rendered in an in-app dialog, keeping chat content readable without intrusive inline previews.
- Database compare and sync — improved schema/data compare windows, compare target loading, multi-table sync, and database compare sync stability.
- Terminal productivity — added a terminal command history panel, SSH broadcast input across windows, and improved remote shell integration install, uninstall, and environment handling.
- Connection import — added an entry for importing connections from other applications, with a refined home sidebar layout.
- Team entry point — added a team management entry controlled by feature flags.
- Extensions and language bundles — added language bundle extension support with detection and installation.
- Rendering and font fixes — fixed font fallback/rendering issues that could cause garbled text, and reduced render-process blocking that could make connection lists and data lists stutter while scrolling.
- Settings and UI polish — API key fields now support reveal/hide toggling, input components support local theme styling, and window/selector layouts have been refined.

Navop is built with Rust and GPUI for a native desktop experience with GPU-accelerated rendering. |
Database management, SSH terminals, SFTP file transfer, port forwarding, serial connections, local terminals, and remote desktop (RDP/VNC) live in one app. |
|
Use the built-in AI assistant for natural language to SQL, query explanation, BI-style analysis, and chart generation. |
Open a remote terminal, browse files through SFTP, drag files into the sidebar, and edit remote files with syntax highlighting. |
Connect to MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, DuckDB, SQL Server, Oracle, and ClickHouse from a single interface. Network database connections can route through per-connection SOCKS5 or HTTP CONNECT proxies, including authenticated proxies and SSH tunnels reached through a proxy. Browse schemas, tables, columns, indexes, foreign keys, procedures, functions, triggers, and sequences where supported.
Beyond the built-in drivers, Navop ships an extension marketplace that adds database drivers for Dameng DM, KingbaseES, GBase 8s, OceanBase, openGauss, Apache IoTDB, and a pure-Go Oracle driver that runs without Oracle Instant Client. Install the ones you need and they appear alongside the built-in connections.
Work with a SQL editor backed by syntax tooling, schema-aware browsing, table structure editing, query execution, explain support, and ER diagrams. Database compare tools support schema/data comparison, target selection, sync planning, and multi-table synchronization workflows.
Use the dedicated Redis viewer for key browsing, value inspection, and cluster connections. Explore MongoDB collections, inspect documents, and run queries from the same workspace.
Open integrated SSH sessions, manage SFTP files, start port forwarding tunnels, connect to serial devices, and keep local terminals in multi-tab sessions. Local terminal profiles support the system shell, PowerShell, Command Prompt, WSL, Git Bash, and custom programs with safely parsed arguments. The terminal also includes command history, SSH broadcast input across windows, and remote shell integration management. The built-in SFTP sidebar supports drag-and-drop uploads, files copied from the system file manager can be uploaded by pasting, and path favorites provide quick jumps to frequently used directories. Terminal sessions can also paste clipboard images into compatible server-side TUI applications.
Create reusable SSH port forwarding connections from existing SSH/SFTP servers. Navop supports local forwarding for services such as databases or internal HTTP endpoints, plus dynamic SOCKS tunnels for routing tools through a remote host.
Edit remote files directly inside Navop with syntax highlighting and autocomplete. No need to open another editor or switch back and forth between terminal and file tools.
Open RDP and VNC sessions through installable remote desktop providers. Each connection can use a SOCKS5 or HTTP CONNECT proxy without requiring a provider protocol upgrade. Connect to Windows machines over RDP, or to any VNC server, and drive the remote desktop from the same workspace where your databases, terminals, and files live.
Use built-in server monitoring and native rendered charts to inspect remote machine status and data analysis output.
Chat with AI inside the app. Navop supports natural language to SQL, query explanation, BI-style data analysis, chart generation, streaming LLM responses, AI Agent workflows, and Function Calling for tool-based task execution. Navop also supports ACP (Agent Client Protocol), allowing external AI agents to connect through extensions; ACP extensions are currently available for Codex, Claude Code, and OpenCode. HTML code blocks can be opened in the browser or previewed in an in-app dialog, and generated terminal commands can be quickly pasted into a terminal session and run.
Navop uses native GPUI rendering and continues to tune heavy UI paths. Recent releases fixed font fallback/rendering issues that could cause garbled text, and reduced render-process blocking that could make connection lists and data lists stutter while scrolling.
Sync connections and settings across devices with encrypted key storage based on AES-GCM and Ed25519. Navop supports light and dark themes, English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

Download the latest build from the Releases page.
Release artifacts are currently published by platform:
| Platform | Architecture | Artifact |
|---|---|---|
| macOS | Apple Silicon, Intel | .dmg, .tar.gz |
| Linux | x86_64 | .tar.gz, .deb, .rpm, .AppImage |
| Windows | x86_64 | .msi, .zip |
Checksums are published as sha256sums.txt in each release.
On Windows, use the .msi package for a standard per-user installation. It defaults to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Navop, lets you choose another writable location, and creates desktop and Start menu shortcuts; administrator privileges are not required for the default location. The .zip archive remains available for portable use and in-app updates.
If macOS blocks the app after installing the DMG with "Apple cannot check it for malicious software", run:
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Navop.appThe built-in Oracle driver requires Oracle Instant Client (Basic package). Download the version matching your platform and ensure the libraries are in your library search path. Alternatively, install the pure-Go Oracle driver from the extension marketplace, which has no Instant Client dependency.
- Open Navop and create your first database connection.
- Add an SSH host and open a remote terminal.
- Create a port forwarding connection from that SSH host when you need a local tunnel or SOCKS proxy.
- Open SFTP file management to browse remote directories or transfer files.
- Try Redis key browsing or MongoDB document browsing.
- Use the AI assistant in SQL or data analysis workflows.
- Rust 2024 edition
- Platform-specific system dependencies

Which databases are supported?
Navop has built-in database support for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, DuckDB, SQL Server, Oracle, and ClickHouse, plus dedicated Redis and MongoDB views. The extension marketplace adds Dameng DM, KingbaseES, GBase 8s, OceanBase, openGauss, Apache IoTDB, and a pure-Go Oracle driver, so domestic and specialty databases are covered alongside the mainstream ones.
Does Oracle need extra setup?
Yes. The built-in Oracle driver requires Oracle Instant Client to be installed and available through your system library search path. You can also install the pure-Go Oracle driver from the extension marketplace, which runs without Instant Client.
