MindScape SimpleDB Management Tools
This is a Visual Studio plug-in. Those who work on Microsoft Platform will find it useful as they will be able to work with Amazon SimpleDB in a familiar environment. As I have a Microsoft background this is my favorite tool so far.
The free version has a limit of returning 20 results when writing queries, which is ok for those who want to explore Amazon SimpleDB. Full version is $29 per sit

SimpeDB Manager
Just came across yet another Amazon SimpleDB tool and decided to update this post. I have not downloaded it yet, so I don't have a screenshot yet. Apparently it is Windows only and requires .NET Framework 3.5, not sure what features of 3.5 those guys use. Anyways you can download a 30 days trial version and you can buy it for only 19.99 - limited time offer.

Even though SimpleDB is still in its infancy there are quite a few tools already for every taste. I am sure there are other tools to emerge over the time as SimpleDB will gain popularity.
If there is anything else I am missing please let me know.
If there is anything else I am missing please let me know.

Since your compiling a page of SimpleDB explorers you might want to add the gui tool Bolso to the list.
Oh! thanks so much for the hint! Will try to post as soon as I can! ;-)
It's an API, not a tool, but if you're doing .NET development with SimpleDB you should check out Simple Savant: http://simplesavant.codeplex.com/
I just wanted to leave a note announcing something I just released called SimpleDBAdmin. It's a basic web-interface for SimpleDB. It's still a work in progress and I'd be very interested in hearing what people think:

There's a free and open source chrome plugin available to browse SimpleDb called SdbNavigator. It's available here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ddhigekdfabonefhiildaiccafacphgg
Hi Jay and Reggino,
Thank you so much for your spam comment. We have updated our blog post with the links to your respective solutions.
Part of our company strategy also includes posting spam comments to the relevant blogs and we know how difficult it is to get a publicity for small ISV.
Thanks for listing all tools available on single page. For your Information, SDBExplorer uses Multithreaded BatchPutAttributes to achieve high write throughput while uploading bulk data to Amazon SimpleDB. SDB Explorer allows multiple parallel uploads. If you have the bandwidth, you can take full advantage of that bandwidth by running number of BatchPutAttributes processes at once in parallel queue that will reduce the time spend in processing.
Hi Andy,
Thanks for providing a consolidated list of SimpleDB tools and if you have room for one more... please consider adding CloudAlly during your next update.
We've just added SimpleDB backups to our growing list of automated daily backups for online services such as Google Apps, Salesforce and more. We backup all SimpleDB domains to unlimited AWS S3 secure storage and provide unlimited retention of the daily archives.
We also offer a one-click export and non-destructive restore, so data can be easily recovered from any point in time.
You can find out more at http://www.cloudally.com.
Thanks!
Murray Moceri

This is done. Thank you for stopping by!
