Native and open source.
TablePro is a free, open-source database client for macOS. Connect it to the database of a fortrabbit environment with its SSH tunnel option.
TablePro is open source under the AGPL. It connects to MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB, Redis and more than 30 other engines. Paid plans add schema compare and sync, and team features. An optional AI assistant works with Claude, OpenAI, GitHub Copilot, a local Ollama model and other providers. Install it with brew install --cask tablepro or from the website.
