Well-Known Users of SQLite:

A few of the better-known users of SQLite are shown below in alphabetical order. There is no complete list of projects and companies that use SQLite. SQLite is in the public domain and so many groups use SQLite in their projects without ever telling us.

[http://www.adobe.com/ | Adobe] uses SQLite as the application file format for their [http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshoplightroom/ | Photoshop Lightroom] product. SQLite is also a standard part of the [http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/air/ | Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR)]. It is reported that [http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html | Acrobat Reader] also uses SQLite.
[http://www.airbus.com/ | Airbus] confirms that SQLite is being used in the flight software for the [http://www.airbus.com/en/aircraftfamilies/a350 | A350 XWB] family of aircraft.
[http://www.apple.com/ | Apple] uses SQLite for many functions within Mac OS X, including [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/mail.html | Apple Mail], [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/safari.html | Safari], and in [http://www.apple.com/aperture/ | Aperture]. Apple uses SQLite in the [http://www.apple.com/iphone/ | iPhone] and in the [http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/ | iPod touch] and in [http://www.apple.com/itunes/ | iTunes] software.
The increasingly popular [http://www.dropbox.com/ | Dropbox] file archiving and synchronization service is reported to use SQLite as the primary data store on the client side.
SQLite is the primary meta-data storage format for the [http://www.mozilla.com/ | Firefox Web Browser] and the [http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/ | Thunderbird Email Reader] from Mozilla.
Flame is a malware spy program that is reported to make heavy use of SQLite.
We believe that [http://www.ge.com/ | General Electric] uses SQLite in some product or another because they twice wrote to the SQLite developers requesting the US Export Control Number for SQLite. So presumably GE is using SQLite in something that they are exporting. But nobody (outside of GE) seems to know what that might be.
It is known that [http://www.google.com/ | Google] uses SQLite in their [http://desktop.gooogle.com/mac/legal.html | Desktop for Mac], in [http://code.google.com/apis/gears/api_database.html | Google Gears], in the [http://code.google.com/android/ | Android] cell-phone operating system, and in the [http://www.google.com/chrome | Chrome Web Browser]. People are suspicious that Google uses SQLite for lots of other things that we do not know about yet. Engineers at Google have made extensive contributions to the full-text search subsystem within SQLite.
[http://www.intuit.com/ | Intuit] apparently uses SQLite in [http://www.quickbooks.com/ | QuickBooks] and in [http://turbotax.intuit.com/ | TurboTax] to judge from some error reports from users seen [http://community.intuit.com/posts/database-error-sqlite-error-code1 | here] and [https://ttlc.intuit.com/post/show_full/cJf8mIhC4r4jjracfArQzM/when-i-try-to-update-turbotax-i-receive-an-unexpected-error-message | here].
[http://www.mcafee.com/ | McAfee] uses SQLite in its antivirus programs. Mentioned [http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users@sqlite.org/msg16931.html | here] and implied [http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/showthread.php?t=173519 | here].
It can be inferred from [http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users@sqlite.org/msg19226.html | traffic on the SQLite mailing list] that at least one group within [http://www.microsoft.com/ | Microsoft] is using SQLite in the development of a game program. No word yet if this game has actually been released or if they are still using SQLite.
The popular [http://www.php.net/ | PHP] programming language comes with both SQLite2 and SQLite3 built in.
SQLite comes bundled with the [http://docs.python.org/lib/module-sqlite3.html | Python] programming language since Python 2.5.
The [http://www.realbasic.com/ | REALbasic] programming environment comes bundled with an enhanced version of SQLite that supports AES encryption.
There are [http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users%40sqlite.org/msg27326.html | multiple] [http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users%40sqlite.org/msg27332.html|sightings] of SQLite in the Skype client for Mac OS X and Windows.
The Tcl/Tk programming language now comes with SQLite built-in. SQLite works particularly well with Tcl since SQLite was originally a Tcl extension that subsequently "escaped" into the wild.
A representative of [http://www.toshiba.com/ | Toshiba] wrote to the SQLite developers and requested the US Export Control Number for SQLite. We infer from this that Toshiba is exporting something from the US that uses SQLite, but we do not know what that something is.
