Is Letos the Same as SQLiteStudio?

Yes. Letos is the current name of the project formerly known as SQLiteStudio. The site states plainly that "Letos was formerly known as SQLiteStudio," so the two names refer to the same SQLite database tool rather than two competing products. If you are looking for SQLiteStudio downloads or updates, check Letos instead — that is where releases now appear.

What the rename does and does not change

The rename is a branding change, not a change in what the software does. Letos is still a tool to "create, edit, browse SQLite databases," which is the same core purpose SQLiteStudio had.

What stays the same, according to the site:

• License and cost: released under the GPL, free for everyone, with no paid edition.
• Platforms: Windows, Linux, and MacOS X.
• Portability: no install or uninstall needed — download, decompress, and run.
• Privacy stance: no telemetry.
• Distribution: downloads and source code (ZIP) are offered from the Letos site, along with a full list of download options.

What changes is the name you search for and the site you visit for news, downloads, and release notes.

Version continuity under the new name

Release numbering continued under the Letos name. The site's news section shows Letos 4.0.3 released, posted on 12 August 2026. That release adds relationship highlighting in the ERD editor: selecting an entity highlights related entities and connections with a subtle glow effect, which the announcement frames as a way to make complex diagrams easier to navigate.

So if you were tracking SQLiteStudio versions, the version line did not reset — it carried on into the 4.x series as Letos.

Where to go for what

Practical takeaway

If you used SQLiteStudio and are wondering whether it was abandoned or replaced, the answer is neither: it was renamed to Letos and development continued. Use the Letos site for the current download and the latest release notes, and expect the same GPL-licensed, cross-platform, portable SQLite editor you had before.
