Why SequelPG

Native macOS Experience

Built with SwiftUI and @Observable for macOS 14+. Native Table grid with column sorting, sidebar navigation, and per-property tracking for buttery smooth performance.

Advanced SQL Editor

Write SQL with syntax highlighting, autocompletion from keywords and database metadata, and a built-in query formatter with Beautify support.

SSH Tunnel Support

Connect securely to remote databases through SSH tunnels with key file or password authentication. No extra tools needed.

Structured Database Navigation

Browse schemas and tables from the sidebar. Switch between Structure, Content, and Query views with a single click.

Inspector Panel

Click any row to open a detailed inspector view with field-level data, metadata, and raw values.

Secure Credential Storage

Passwords are stored in the macOS Keychain and cached in memory, so you only authenticate once per session.
