Playforce Query
What this tool is
Playforce Query is a Complementary (free) lightweight SOQL query tool focused on fast iteration and editing.
It’s written in Node.js and distributed as source:
- • Clone the repo
- • Run it locally in your Node environment
- • No Salesforce CLI required
You’ll need an External Client App configured in Salesforce.
Both OAuth 2.0 Web Server Flow (Authorization Code) and Client Credentials are supported.
After that, everything is pretty intuitive and covers ~99% of the SOQL work needed for analysis, debugging, and assisting automation development.

Key features:
- • Switch seamlessly between SObject REST & SOQL content
- • Work with multiple queries at a time
- • Edit with dynamic and reference aware autocomplete
- • Execute items quickly (just press Ctrl-E on the required row)
- • Multiple Salesforce environments supported
- • Sort, filter, and export results
- • Click an ID to view Object JSON or open directly in Salesforce
- • Secure authentication via Salesforce OAuth 2.0 Web Server Flow (Authorization Code Flow)
- • No Salesforce CLI, VS Code or Browser Extensions required!
Who this is for

- • Write SOQL regularly
- • Want quick data extraction for analysis
