QuackDB: a native SQL client for Mac

QuackDB is a native Mac database client that brings SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server and Supabase into one workspace, with a SQL editor, a data grid and a schema diagram.

SQL editor for Mac

Write a query, run it and read the results on the same screen. QuackDB remembers the queries you have run, lets you save the ones worth keeping and formats SQL so it stays readable.

Data grid and SQL file viewer

Open a SQLite file (.db, .sqlite, .sqlite3) or a table on a server, filter and sort it, and edit values in place. Import and export CSV, TXT, JSON or SQL.

Commit and undo changes

Edits are collected as pending changes that you review and commit with a message. Each commit is recorded in the change history, and a committed change can be undone from there.

Schema diagram

See how tables connect, drawn from the foreign keys already in your database, and open a table or add a column from the diagram.
