Applications that use SQLite databases

Which applications use SQLite to store program data?
Many applications on Mac OS use SQLite to store information - including Apple's own Safari and Mail applications. You can use the Actual ODBC Driver for Open Source Databases to import the information stored in the database into an ODBC-ready application, such as Excel, FileMaker Pro, or even a PHP web page.

Here is a partial list of applications which use SQLite. If you are a developer and would like your application listed here, please e-mail us at support@actualtech.com.

NOTE: you should never modify an application's data outside of the application, unless instructed to by the application's developer. We only recommend using the driver to read data from the database (using the SELECT SQL statement). You should not use the driver to modify the database - doing so may make the file unusable by the application.
