ByteRunner Pro

Everything unlocked, once.

The free scratchpad runs all four JVM languages. Pro adds the tools you reach for when a scratch turns into real work — databases, a debugger, AI, and more.

Perpetual license · every machine you own · offline activation · 14-day refund

What Pro adds

Database connectivity

PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQLite, H2, SQL Server and DynamoDB — browse the schema, then query tables as typed, autocompleted accessors or with raw SQL.

Debugger

Real breakpoints, stepping, live variables, and an Immediate window for evaluating expressions while paused.

AI assistant

Explain, write, and fix code with your own key — Anthropic or OpenAI — or run it fully local with Ollama so nothing leaves your machine.

Autocomplete

Code completion across your query, your extensions, and your database columns.

Package management

Pull any Maven Central dependency into a query with @file:DependsOn.

Charting

Turn results into plots without leaving the scratchpad.

Questions

How many machines can I use it on?Every machine you own. It's licensed to you, not to a device.
How does activation work?You get a license key by email. Open ByteRunner → Help → Manage License → paste it → Activate. Activation is fully offline — no account, no server check.
Can I try before buying?Every install includes a 14-day Pro trial with everything unlocked. No card, no sign-up.
