anyquery is a single binary that allows you to query over 40 SaaS applications using standard SQL. It acts as a universal interface, letting you run SQL queries against services like GitHub, Slack, Google Sheets, and many more without needing to learn each service's API. The tool is local-first and privacy-focused, meaning all queries are executed on your machine and data never leaves your control unless you explicitly connect to external sources. It also supports connecting to your own PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite databases, enabling federated queries across both your internal data and external SaaS tools. anyquery is designed for developers and data professionals who need to aggregate, analyze, or export data from multiple sources quickly. It features a plugin architecture for extending support to new services, a command-line REPL for interactive querying, and batch execution capabilities. The open-source nature ensures transparency and community-driven enhancements.

Problem solved
Developers and data analysts often struggle with pulling data from multiple SaaS tools for reporting or analysis, as each service has its own API and data format. anyquery solves this by providing a unified SQL interface that abstracts away these differences, allowing users to join, filter, and aggregate data across disparate services using familiar SQL syntax, all from a local, privacy-respecting environment.
Use cases
- Create a cross-service dashboard by joining GitHub issues with Jira tickets and Slack messages
- Export data from Google Sheets to a PostgreSQL database for further analysis
- Monitor team productivity by querying commit counts from GitHub and task completions from Asana
- Perform security audits by querying logs across multiple cloud services
- Build a personal knowledge base by aggregating data from note-taking apps like Notion and Evernote
- Sync data between two different SaaS tools for migration or backup purposes
Audience
- Developers
- Data Scientists
- Business Users
