    DynoTable

    DynoTable

    DynoTable

    DynoTable is a local-first DynamoDB GUI, a desktop client for Amazon DynamoDB on macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux (.deb/.rpm). Its SQL Workbench runs real SELECT queries with JOINs, GROUP BY and aggregations (SUM, AVG, COUNT DISTINCT, HAVING) over live tables. Every query previews its plan before it runs, showing Scan vs Query, the index and an RCU estimate, so you see the cost first. Smart Tables join tables on a primary key or any global secondary index and recompute live, with no schema migration or ETL. A built-in AI agent runs on your own Amazon Bedrock keys. It reads your schema, drafts queries and proposes writes, and no prompt, schema or row leaves your AWS account. Claude Code, Cursor and Codex connect over MCP. External agents never write directly; every change lands in a staging window you review and commit. DynoTable talks straight to AWS with your own credentials, so it can only do what your IAM policy allows, and works with AWS SSO, aws-vault and DynamoDB Local.

    FluentDB

    FluentDB

    FluentDB

    FluentDB is a native, AI-first database client for Apple Silicon Macs that combines a schema-aware copilot, a modern SQL editor, a keyboard-first explorer, fast data tables, and built-in safety controls in one focused workspace. It connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and Microsoft SQL Server, letting users ask questions in plain English and receive SQL written against their real tables and columns. By default, the AI reads the schema rather than row data, never runs a statement on its own, and asks for approval before write queries execute. Read-only connections, local query history, server-side cancellation for runaway queries, and visible SQL keep users in control. The editor provides schema-aware autocomplete, formatting, saved queries, instant previews, and seamless switching between manual SQL and AI mode without losing context. Command + P opens tables, views, functions, sequences, types, and extensions, while the native grid can smoothly scroll, edit, sort, copy, and export.

    Adminer

    Adminer

    Adminer

    Replace phpMyAdmin with Adminer and you will get a tidier user interface, better support for MySQL features, higher performance and more security. Security is #1 priority in development of Adminer. Adminer does not allow connecting to databases without a password and it rate-limits the connection attempts to protect against brute-force attacks. Still, consider making Adminer inaccessible to public by whitelisting IP addresses allowed to connect to it, password-protecting the access in your web server, enabling security plugins (e.g. to require an OTP) or by customizing the login method. You can also delete Adminer if not needed anymore, it is just one file which is easy to upload in the future. Adminer had some security bugs in the past so update whenever Adminer tells you there is a new version available (ask your administrator if you could not update yourself). Connect to a database server with username and password. /Select an existing database or create a new one.

    pgAdmin

    pgAdmin

    pgAdmin

    pgAdmin is a free software project released under the PostgreSQL/Artistic licence. The software is available in source and binary format from the PostgreSQL mirror network. Because compiling from source requires technical knowledge, we recommend installing binary packages whenever possible. pgAdmin is the most popular and feature rich Open Source administration and development platform for PostgreSQL, the most advanced Open Source database in the world. pgAdmin is a management tool for PostgreSQL and derivative relational databases such as EnterpriseDB's EDB Advanced Server. It may be run either as a web or desktop application. As pgAdmin is a web application, it can only interact with the local filesystem in ways that are allowed by modern web browsers. This limits what is possible for security; essentially files can only be "downloaded" or "uploaded" (through a form).

    PSequel

    PSequel

    PSequel

    PostgreSQL GUI tool for macOS. PSequel provides a clean and simple interface for you to perform common PostgreSQL tasks quickly. pgAdmin is great for its feature-richness. However, its UI is clumsy and complicated. There is a list of PostgreSQL GUI Tools. However, they are either web-based, Java-based or don't support the features some want. In the good old MySQL world, the best client is Sequel Pro, but its support for PostgreSQL doesn't seem to be happening. So, we decided to make one. PSequel is written from scratch in Swift 2, although PSequel's UI is highly inspired by Sequel Pro. PSequel is being developed in our spare time. By supporting macOS 10.10+ only, the codebase can be kept simpler and save time by not testing it in older versions of macOS. And, less code, less bugs. PSequel is still in its early stage.

    SQL Workbench

    SQL Workbench

    SQL Workbench

    SQL Workbench/J is a free, DBMS-independent, cross-platform SQL query tool. It is written in Java and should run on any operating system that provides a Java Runtime Environment. Its main focus is on running SQL scripts (either interactively or as a batch) and export/import features. Graphical query building or more advanced DBA tasks are not the focus and are not planned. Powerful export command to write text files (aka "CSV"), XML, HTML or SQL (including BLOB data). All user tables can be exported into a directory with a single command. Export files can be compressed "on-the-fly". Powerful text, XML and spreadsheet import. A set of files (including compressed files) can be imported from a directory with a single command. Foreign key constraints are detected to insert the data in the correct order. Compare two database schemas for differences. The XML output can be transformed into the approriate SQL ALTER statements using XSLT.

    Postico

    Postico

    Postico

    Postico is a database client. Postico can connect to a local PostgreSQL server running on your Mac, or to remote servers running on a different computer. If you want to install a local PostgreSQL server on your Mac, I recommend Postgres.app. Postgres.app starts a PostgreSQL server running locally on your Mac. The first time it starts it will automatically create a new data directory and set up an empty database. After a few moments, the server will be running and waiting for connections. Postgres.app can't start when another PostgreSQL server is already running on your computer. If you run into problems, make sure to deactivate or uninstall other PostgreSQL installations. Reboot your computer after uninstalling! To connect to a PostgreSQL server with Postico, you must first create a favorite. A favorite contains parameters for connecting to a server. Some connection parameters are optional.
