Dynopane
Tables and indexes, at a glance Free
Every table in the region, with its key schema, GSIs and LSIs and item counts, in a tree in the sidebar. You can see which index a query should use before you write it.
For VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf
DynamoDB, in your editor.
Browse tables, run queries and edit items in the sidebar next to the code that writes them — no console tab, no second app.
Install for VS Code Get it for Cursor & Windsurf
Free to browse, query and read items. Pro is $29 once — 14-day free trial, no key needed. Uses the AWS profiles already on your machine; we never ask for access keys.
Set up in minutes. No config.
If the AWS CLI works on your machine, Dynopane works. There is nothing to sign up for.
- Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace, or from Open VSX in Cursor and Windsurf.
- Pick a profile and region. Dynopane lists the profiles and SSO sessions already in
~/.aws. - Open a table. Your tables, indexes and items appear in the sidebar. Pro features are on for 14 days.
What it does
Five things, done properly for DynamoDB — not a generic SQL grid with a DynamoDB driver bolted on.
Scan and query with a filter Free
Query by key or scan a table, narrow it with a filter, then open any item as formatted JSON. Reading production data takes one click, not a tab switch and a login.
Edit, insert and delete items Pro
Change an attribute, add a test item, remove a bad row — edits save when you press save, and deletes and PartiQL writes ask for confirmation first, so nothing leaves a table by accident.
PartiQL editor with a results grid Pro
Write PartiQL statements against your tables and read the results in a grid. Export any result set to CSV or JSON, and save the queries you run every day.
Several profiles and regions at once Pro
Keep staging in us-east-1 and production in eu-west-1 open side by side instead of re-authenticating and re-switching every time you compare them.
DynamoDB Local and offline work Free
Point a connection at DynamoDB Local with an endpoint override and work against test data on a train, or without touching a real account at all.
Your data never touches us.
Dynopane is a client, not a service. There is no Dynopane account, no Dynopane server and nothing to trust us with.
-
Credentials stay on your machine
It reads the AWS profiles and SSO sessions the AWS CLI already uses. There is no key form, and no key is ever stored by us.
-
Straight to AWS
Requests go from your editor to AWS over HTTPS. Your table names and items never pass through anything of ours.
-
No telemetry, no account
Nothing is collected, and there is nothing to sign up for. The only thing we ever see is a licence-key check if you buy Pro.
Why not the tools you already have?
All of these work. Here is what is different, stated plainly.
| AWS console | Dynobase | DBCode | Dynopane | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | A browser tab | A separate desktop app | Editor extension | Editor extension |
| Built only for DynamoDB | Yes | Yes | No — many databases, one SQL grid | Yes — key schema, GSIs, LSIs, PartiQL |
| Beside the code that writes the table | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Sign-in | AWS console login | Your AWS profiles | Your AWS profiles | Your AWS profiles, no account with us |
| Price | Free | $9/month billed yearly, or $199 lifetime | Free core; Pro $4/month or $120 lifetime | Free to read; Pro $29 once |
Prices from each vendor's site, September 2026. Dynobase and DBCode are good tools; if you already own one and it fits, keep it.

Questions
Something else? Write to support@dynopane.com — a person answers.
Do I have to give Dynopane my AWS access keys?
No. Dynopane uses the standard AWS credential chain — the profiles and SSO sessions already configured on your machine, the same ones the AWS CLI reads. There is no key form in the extension, and no key is ever stored by us.
Where does my table data go?
From your machine straight to AWS over HTTPS. Dynopane has no server, collects no telemetry and needs no account with us, so your items and table names never pass through anything of ours.
Does it work in Cursor, Windsurf and VSCodium?
Yes. Install it from the VS Code Marketplace in VS Code, or from Open VSX in Cursor, Windsurf and VSCodium.
Can I use it with DynamoDB Local?
Yes. Set an endpoint override and Dynopane talks to your local DynamoDB instead of AWS, so you can work offline or against test data.
What exactly do I get for $29, and for how long?
A Pro licence for one developer with 5 activations: editing, inserting and deleting items, the PartiQL editor, CSV/JSON export, saved queries and multiple profiles and regions at once. Each editor install is one activation, because VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf each keep their own licence store; five is enough for a laptop, a desktop and a second editor on each, with one spare. Free a slot from your Polar portal when you retire a machine. It is a one-time payment, not a subscription, and it includes all future updates.
How do I get my licence key after paying?
Polar emails your receipt; its Access purchase button opens your Polar customer portal, where the key is shown and can be copied at any time. In your editor, run the command Dynopane: Activate Pro and paste it. Details are on the post-purchase page.
Is Dynopane made by Amazon?
No. Dynopane is an independent product from Geary Works. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or supported by Amazon Web Services.
