Wow, I am so excited about this app. I have to wonder, how come the market hasn't supported something like this in the past - or more specifically - why hasn't SequelPro thrived and evolved to eventually support Postgres? Are developers too cheap?

I like what TablePlus is offering. My question is the price. $69 isn't horrible, but it is still a lot. Is this one time $69 with a long path of free upgrades or is this $69 once a year like other software I use (VMWare Fusion, Office, etc).

it is "You only pay once and keep using the app forever, but you can only upgrade the app for the first year after you purchased."

Well done! Now I wish I had something as fancy for my meek Linux box.

It's not as good as this or Sequel Pro - but Sqlectron ( https://sqlectron.github.io/ ) has been pretty good for me as a Linux-friendly client.

Thanks, that looks pretty good!

I hadn't seen this before, but I love their attempt to keep parity between their text/term version and the gui version; quite clever and the text version is really functional.

https://tableplus.io/ for those who want to try it without reading the launch post. Mac-only, Windows version planned. Free to download with paid upgrades giving more features: https://tableplus.io/pricing . Looks like a good potential alternative to https://www.sequelpro.com/ (Mac and MySQL -only, donationware).

If it works as advertised, this might be one of the most pleasant surprises in a while. Will try it now. Been looking for a good alternative to pgAdmin. Edit: Tried it out and it works really well from first impressions. Would definitely recommend trying it out as an alternative to pgAdmin.

Thanks! If you want to request any new features, drop us a message on Github https://github.com/TablePlus/TablePlus

I think this looks great. But do you know what I would really enjoy - and that's a psql on steroids. Basically what I mean by that is take a lot of features in TablePlus but make a console app of it. You'd be expected to run super wide windows but it would lend itself to being used very rapidly without ever using the mouse, and being able to retain the incredible usefulness of psql while still getting an overview of your queries, your result sets, different view formats, etc. Maybe it's just me, but I would buy such a console app.
