Databases

29 databases.
One native driver each. No JDBC.

9 drivers ship inside the app. The other 20 download the first time you pick one, signature verified, with no restart.

Twenty six tiles, twenty five drivers: Cassandra and ScyllaDB share one. Underneath are libpq, libmariadb, hiredis, libmongoc, libcassandra, FreeTDS and OracleNIO, with Teradata and Trino speaking their wire protocols in pure Swift.

The workbench

Write SQL, edit rows, commit.
In one window.

Every result is a tab. Every edit queues in memory until you save.

SQL Editor

Autocomplete resolves aliases through JOINs and CTEs. A batch runs in one transaction.

Run: ⌘⏎ statement at cursor · ⌘⇧⏎ all · ⌘⌥⏎ uncapped · ⌘. cancel
Rollback: A failed statement is named, and the batch rolls back.
Row cap: 10,000 by default, up to 500,000. Your own LIMIT wins.
Vim: Six modes, motions, text objects, registers, marks, macros. :w runs the query.

The SQL editor with a multi-statement query and its result tabs below.

Data Grid

Every column type gets its own editor. Nothing lands until you press Save.

Commit: ⌘S saves. ⌘⇧P shows the parameterized SQL first.
Loading: Rows arrive before metadata, and a hidden column is never fetched.
Paging: Past 100,000 rows the pager estimates instead of counting.
Copy as: CSV, JSON, Markdown, IN clause, INSERT, UPDATE

The data grid with an edited cell highlighted and the save control live, the change still only in memory.

AI Assistant

Explain a query, optimize it, or fix one that failed.

Explain: ⌘L. ⌘⌥L optimizes. A failed query grows a Fix button.
Apply: Arrives as a diff. Nothing lands until you press Apply.

The AI assistant answering a question in a side panel, with the SQL it generated and a step-by-step explanation.

Six more things you would expect to pay for.

EXPLAIN, visualized

A cost-coloured diagram, an expandable tree, the raw text.

Server dashboard

Sessions, per-engine metrics and slow queries.

Users and roles

Grant and revoke down to a single column, without writing GRANT.

Quick Switcher

Fuzzy search across tables, queries and history, most-used first.

CSV inspector

Open a .csv or .tsv as a document. No import step.

Backup and restore

PostgreSQL and Redshift dumps, through the existing SSH tunnel.

Open a database and press ⌘⏎.

Migration

Import your connections from TablePlus or DBeaver.
Passwords, tunnels and SSL included.

The source app does not need to be running. Or point TablePro at a project folder and it reads your .env.

Cold start, memory, runtime and price.

Cold start, idle memory, runtime and price, compared across TablePro, DBeaver, DataGrip, Beekeeper Studio and TablePlus.
Metric	TablePro	DBeaver	DataGrip	Beekeeper Studio	TablePlus
Cold start	<1s	~8s	~10s	~3s	—
Idle memory	~80 MB	~800 MB	1-2 GB	~200-400 MB	—
Runtime	Native (SwiftUI)	Java (Eclipse RCP)	Java (IntelliJ)	Electron (Chromium)	Native (AppKit)
Price	Free	Free / from $113/yr PRO	$99/yr individual (first year), $10.90/mo	Free / from $108/yr Indie	$99 one device, $129 two

Every competitor figure comes from its own comparison page, which names the version tested. TablePlus is native too, and unmeasured rather than estimated.

Guardrails

Let an agent query your database.
Without giving it your password.

Sixteen MCP tools over your saved connections. The client gets a scoped token, never a credential.

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tablepro": {
      "command": "/Applications/TablePro.app/Contents/MacOS/tablepro-mcp"
    }
  }
}

No token in the config. The bridge launches TablePro if it is not running.

Askread only: list_connections · list_tables · describe_table · get_table_ddl
Editadds writes: execute_query for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE. Destructive DDL stays blocked.
Agentadds the tool loop: confirm_destructive_operation. You type “I understand this is irreversible” every time. It can never be pre-approved.

Fresh installs start in Ask.

Works with: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Zed, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, Goose, Antigravity and Raycast.
Providersyour own key: GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, xAI, OpenRouter, OpenCode Zen, Ollama, llama.cpp, MLX, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Remote access is off by default; turning it on switches on authentication and TLS.

Six levels between you and production.
Set per connection.

Even at the loosest setting, DROP, TRUNCATE and a DELETE with no WHERE clause stop and ask.

At Silent (default), a scoped UPDATE runs without asking. An unguarded DELETE FROM users asks for confirmation — that floor holds at every level.

Safe Mode levels and their behaviour
Level	Write	Read	Auth
Silent (default)	runs	runs	none
Alert	confirmation	runs	none
Alert (Full)	confirmation	confirmation	none
Safe Mode	confirmation and Touch ID	runs	Touch ID
Safe Mode (Full)	confirmation and Touch ID	confirmation and Touch ID	Touch ID
Read-Only	blocked	runs	none

Read-Only disables the interface, not just the query. A host or database named “prod” raises the level by itself.

Credentials: macOS Keychain, or nowhere: resolved at connect time from 1Password, HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager or a shell command.
Network: No account, no login, no cloud service in the connection path.
Getting there: SSH tunnels and jump hosts chained in process. Or Cloudflare Tunnel, Cloud SQL Auth Proxy, or SOCKS5.

Safe Mode is on before you connect anything.

Pricing

The app is free.
9 features need a license.

Free is not a trial and not a demo. It is the whole app, on every Mac you own, with nothing counting down.

At work: AGPL obligations attach to distributing a modified version, not to using it. No company-size limit.
Who builds it: One person, full time, funded by licenses rather than investors. Buying one is how the next release gets built, and sponsorship goes to the same place.
