Firebase admin tool, reimagined with undo

Native Firebase admin app for macOS (Windows and Linux in beta). Browse Firestore, manage Auth users, query Storage from a desktop app that uses 45MB of RAM, not 600MB. Keyboard-first with ⌘K project switching, visual query builder (no index errors), activity log with one-click undo, and JSON/Table/Form views for every document. The Firebase console replacement for developers who manage projects all day.
Hey hunters,
We built FirePilot because the Firebase console kept slowing us down.
The pattern hit every week: open the console, click into a project, wait for the data to load, realize we could only filter by field equality, then drop into a terminal to write a script anyway. For a tool that ships with one of the most popular backends in the world, the data layer felt frustrating to live in.
So we built the one we wanted to use.
What FirePilot does:
🎯 Visual query builder. Compound `where`, `order by`, and pagination without writing code. Run, count, or export results in one click.
🗂️ Saved views per collection. Build a query, name it, pin one as default. Open the collection and it loads instantly. The queries you rebuild every day get saved once.
🔄 Activity log with undo. Every write action is tracked. Created, updated, or deleted something you shouldn't have? One click to bring it back. Git history for your Firestore edits.
🪣 Storage, inline. Browse Firebase Storage buckets, preview images and text files, manage uploads next to your data.
⌨️ Keyboard-native. ⌘K to jump between collections, ⌘F to filter, ⌘Enter to run. Built for hands-on-keyboard workflows.
🔒 Local-first. Your service account keys never leave your machine. No proxy server. No cloud sync. No telemetry on your data.
And it stays light. Built on Tauri for macOS, with Windows and Linux in beta. The footprint is small enough to leave open all day next to your editor and browser without watching your fans spin up.
Free for one project forever. Solo plan and Team plan for unlimited projects, with a 7-day trial.
Honest about beta:
- Rules editor coming later
- Cloud Functions management not in yet
- Auth flows are intentionally minimal for v1
We're shipping based on what pilots ask for, so the roadmap is shaped by your feedback.
A few things we'd love feedback on:
- What's a Firestore workflow that still feels slow for you today?
- What would make you switch from the Firebase console full-time?
Thanks for flying with us 🛩️
