Do you want to open a Bento database backup when you're at a friend's house, and he doesn't have Bento? It's actually really simple:

  1. Control-click on your Bento database backup file (.bentodb) and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu.
  2. Navigate to the Contents » Resources folder.
  3. Copy the file named Database to another location.
  4. Launch a SQLite application, such as SQLite Database Browser.
  5. Open the copy of the Database file you just created.
Enjoy your database!
