# SQLite

Tool · [Standard tools and platforms](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/tools)

Also called: SQL Lite, Sequel Lite, sqlite3

A small, free [database](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/database) that keeps everything in a single file and runs inside the app itself, with no separate [server](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/server). Phones, [browsers](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/web-browser) and many apps use it.

**For example:** A [developer](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/software-engineer) uses SQLite for a [prototype](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/prototype) so the whole [database](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/database) is one file she can copy and share.
