Richer interfaces and better-equipped development for your Ninox databases
The Ninext plugin completes Ninox on both sides: interface components for the people who use your applications — badges, custom buttons, interactive HTML — and real tools for the people who build them — debugger, profiler, real-time presence, an AI assistant grounded in your schema. Your data is never modified.
Richer interfaces for your users
Ninext adds capabilities to Ninox forms that don’t exist out of the box, for everyone who works in the database every day.
Badges on tabs
Number of attached files, unread comments, a key piece of information: a badge on the tab signals it, without opening each tab.
Custom buttons
A button’s appearance — color, icon, label — adapts to the record’s context, through a simple function in the display trigger.
Views that react to selection
A click on a row of a view can trigger a script: the form displayed next to it follows the selection, with no intermediate button.
Embedded HTML and JavaScript
Your HTML components talk directly to your Ninox scripts, without going through the REST API; Native JS runs JavaScript inside an NX script, shared variables included.
The Ninox developer’s toolbox
The Ninext plugin equips your database with professional development tools — built into the Ninox editor, nothing else to install.
Step-by-step debugger
Pause an NX script mid-run: step through it instruction by instruction, set breakpoints, step into global functions and read the value of every variable. Replay mode records a full run so you can walk through it step by step, without pausing anything.
Formula profiler
During a measuring session, every formula evaluation is timed: a table of the most expensive ones, a live timeline and the chain of calls. Outside a session the overhead is zero. You finally know why a record is slow.
Improved errors and warnings
One tab gathers every diagnostic of your database: compile errors, duplicate IDs, unused functions and formulas… Each line is explained, filterable and takes you straight to the code involved.
Real-time presence
Just like a shared document: see who is in the database, on which record, who is typing what — and jump to a colleague in one click. When two administrators edit the schema at the same time, an alert keeps either one from losing their work.
Graphical schema overview
The whole database as a diagram: tables, fields and relations can be read at a glance, then rearranged by drag and drop.
Code search and fast editing
Go through every script of your database in a single search, and copy, paste or duplicate fields together with their scripts and formatting.
The AI assistant for your Ninox databases
For development
Coding help
Understand and write NX formulas, with answers grounded in your real schema.
Read-only & safe
Queries run on your Ninox session with your rights. The assistant never alters your data.
Transparent billing
A simple monthly plan. You set your own spending limits, per API token — you always know what the AI costs you.
And for your users
Embed the assistant in your Ninox app: your users gain autonomy, and your work shows its full value.
Easy access to data
Your users query the database in plain language — no NX or schema knowledge needed.
Understand the database
The assistant explains where the data lives and how the tables connect.
Tailored exports
Pull and filter exactly the data they need — always read-only.
Free for everyone, and a plan to go further
The Ninext plugin is free. Ninext Pro, at a fixed price, adds the AI assistant and the advanced tools; AI usage goes through your own Anthropic key, paid directly to Anthropic.

For the users of your databases
- Badges: the number of files and comments on tabs, and your own badges on custom tabs.
- Custom buttons: caption, color, tooltip and badge that adapt to each record.
- View events: react to a click on a row of a view field, or to the selection of a record.
- Built-in HTML and JavaScript: JavaScript inside your Ninox scripts, and HTML interfaces that call your Ninox functions.
- Column filters: a chip for each filtered column in table views, to see and remove a filter in one click.
- Visited records: the records you opened last, reopened in one click by the same path.
For developers
- Console: write NX code and run it at once, check it without running it, format it.
- Debug Tracer: the value of every variable each time a debug() instruction is reached.
- Fields & Formulas: everything that uses a field or a global function, as a list and as a tree, with a badge on each used field in the “Edit fields” window.
- Schema Overview: your tables, their fields and their links, drawn as a diagram.
- Code Finder: search every script of the database, regular expressions included.
- Errors: compile errors and duplicate IDs across the whole database.
- Function Help: the functions of Ninox, of Ninext and of your database, plus a syntax tip inside the editors.
- Copy, paste, duplicate and delete fields with their scripts, from one table or database to another.
