What is FlameRobin?

FlameRobin is a database administration tool for Firebird DBMS.
Our goal is to build a tool that is:
   - lightweight (small footprint, fast execution)
   - cross-platform (Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris)
   - dependent only on other Open Source software

Snapshot builds

If you don't want to build FlameRobin from the sources, but still want to run the bleeding edge version, you can fetch the latest binary snapshot builds from the download section. We create those whenever there is some important bugfix, some major change to the code or some new feature needs to be tested. These builds don't have manual or changelog updated, but they are a nice preview of what will the next FlameRobin release look like.
