The record

Product: Schemity is database design software that reads a live database and previews the effects of schema changes before the user runs them.
Database support: The site lists PostgreSQL, Supabase, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, and SQLite as supported databases.
Migration review: Schemity displays proposed changes and their effects, and only runs a migration when the user clicks Migrate.
Design features: Features include ERD design, inferred relationships, SQL and DBML import, check constraints, junction table generation, and schema linting across 26 problem classes.
AI integrations: Its local MCP server offers 16 tools and works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and any MCP host.
Security: The maker says the MCP server listens only on the user's machine, stores its token in the OS keychain, and does not give an AI agent database credentials.
Privacy: The desktop app has no cloud backend, accounts, analytics, or telemetry; it transmits an automatically generated machine ID and country code for license verification.
Local storage: Schemity stores work as plain JSON files on the user's machine, which can be version-controlled with Git.
Platforms: The desktop app is listed for macOS 11 or newer, Windows 10/11 x64, and Ubuntu or Debian x64; Schemity Lite runs in a browser.
Trial: The desktop trial lasts two weeks, unlocks every feature, and requires no credit card.
Trial limits: After the trial, offline design continues to work, while live database features and Context Views pause until a license is active.
Support: The maker invites users to contact the creator directly about team purchase needs such as invoices, offline activation, security review, or volume licensing.
Audience: The maker describes Schemity as database design software for software engineers and says its creator uses it to design and maintain production schemas.
