I know researchers (think field biology) who need to enter data into SQLite databases with bespoke apps but on occasion it’s imperative to edit or search the database directly. I’ve helped them do that on some butt-ugly app they had installed whose name escapes me. Looking at Base, my immediate thought was to buy it for them.

Additionally, while I know my way around and even enjoy the command-line, on occasion I bump into some app’s SQLite database that I want to explore. I can see myself using a GUI for those instances to help me find the data I’m looking for faster.
