Cool but it's hosted. I'd pay for a sql-notebook application that ran on OSX. I'm always working on speculative features or analysis but security, policy, and portability reasons I'd rather have a desktop app.

run it locally: https://github.com/hvf/franchise

Co-creator here! We wanted

  * A simple, flexible SQL client
  * A notebook interface that lets you drag stuff around and view things side-by-side
  * Query CSVs, JSON, and XLSX documents fully in-browser with Emscripten + SQLite
  * Postgres, MySQL and BigQuery through a local connection bridge. Your data never touches a third party server.
I’ll be here with @antimatter15 for the rest of the morning answering questions!

Like someone else said, this is hosted (but there's a way to run it yourself). But, I don't see any pricing. Is that something they plan on adding later. Or, how do they plan to keep it online over time?

"Your data never hits our servers"

That seems to be a pure local web-app. Kind of a remix of the local aspect of Tiddly Wiki and DabbleDB's approach to data massaging.
