What are some of the comparisons with MySqlWorkbench? It's the only one I have stuck around using so far, so looking to shop around for a different client to try.

Side note, if you're exclusively on MySQL I would suggest checking out https://www.sequelpro.com/ - it served me well for many years.

When folks like you want to use beekeeper over sequel pro I'll know we've done good work. That's my goal!

Hey, it would be great if you published it to AUR (Arch Linux)!

Hoping to! It's built with electron-builder and there's no plugin for aur yet, so will have to manually figure it out. I'm very pro Linux.

I tried out your app, and it's awesome! Simple and solves my need.

Can you add a setting to zoom?

I got pretty excited about trying this out, since I've been using a no longer maintained (and pretty buggy) app called Sequel Pro. But, Beekeeper kind of seems slow/clunky? I ran a simple query in our prod DB that returned 906 rows x 60 columns – the app completely froze up and I couldn't even scroll down to the next few rows...

Switch to Sequel Pro nightly build. You can install it with homebrew. It’s very stable despite the nightly moniker. I haven’t had a single issue with it and it resolved several issues I was having with the regular release.

Yesterday after using Sequel Pro for years, I decided to give TablePlus a try and have been pleasantly surprised. Sequel Pro seems a bit snappier is some instances like when you run a few dozen (or thousand) queries from the editor, but TablePlus query auto complete is so much better than Sequel Pro, and I really like having to confirm changes rather than them running in real time as I update/create/delete things.

Kudos for the effort, however for SQL server it faces the same issues as most other clients. connecting using an domain\user and password doesn't work which means i can't jump ship.

Is there a reason it works flawlessly on datagrip and other tools like sqlprostudio but apps like tableplus and beekepper can't?
