A desktop Firestore GUI for macOS and Windows. Every write — inline edits, bulk updates, deletes, CSV imports, even the JS console — goes through confirm → backup → execute → audit log. Enforced in Electron's main process, not the UI, so nothing can bypass it. Connections are labelled dev/staging/production; destructive production writes require typing the project ID. Restore is a diff preview and one click; ⌘Z undoes the last write. 14-day full trial. No signup, no card.
The confirmation-before-write flow feels genuinely protective instead of annoying, especially the typing-the-project-ID step for prod. Also nice that backups happen automatically so restoring after a bad import is just a diff and a click.
the confirm-backup-execute pipeline actually being enforced in the main process is genuinely smart, felt way safer than the browser console hacks i've been doing for months
the "type the project ID to confirm" thing is genuinely smart, like it actually respects how scary a prod write is. combined with diff preview restore, this feels built by people who have fat-fingered a delete at 2am.
The backup and audit log combo is a really smart angle, especially for production work. One thing that would make this a daily driver for me: a saved query view for the JS console, so I can keep my most used filter or update scripts in a sidebar and rerun them with a quick shortcut. Right now I'd be digging through history every time.
