is this similar to DBeaver?

Re: TablePlus – Modern, Native Tool for Database Management
#82Been using the open source dbeaver for a while now. On the whole very impressed with it, so worth a look as a free alternative.
I looked at TablePlus but the formatter was horrible.
DBeaver internal formatter is decent and if I want more I can use an external tool.

#83The application looks and feels nice, but the per-device pricing/licensing model seems severely outdated to me. I will not make a purchase unless named licenses, which enable me to use the application on all devices and operating systems I use (with reasonable limits if DRM is needed for some reason), are available.
This is an odd hill to die on. I'd bet 90%+ of engineers have a single computer they code from at home (even if you have multiple computers) and another at work. It's perfectly fair to pay for a separate license for each of those use cases. I'd prefer this to some $10/month SAAS model.
No it’s not. I have a desktop and 2 laptops. My desktop has 3 OSes, Mac windows and Linux. Why the hell would I buy this, and then have to think really hard about which one I’ll use with it?
I probably feel too strongly about this. Last week I setup a nytimes cooking subscription and then immediately canceled it when I realize I had to leave it on auto pay or else it wouldn’t work.

I asked them about that a year ago and they weren't interested in changing the model then.
Go with data grip then. I’m pretty sure it can be installed on every machine. At least that’s what I do, and I see no reason to switch other than their lack of official support for non-relational databases. It’s otherwise solid software.

#85Free alternative i have been using for some years now: https://dbeaver.io/ The community edition is updated more often than i would like and sometimes features break but bugs get fixed quickly and they add usefull stuff all the time. Dont know what i would do if i was stuck with pgAdmin...
I quite like Postico (Mac-only though)

I like SequelPro. The UI much simpler, powerful, but it's inactivated, nobody working on it to update for new macOS :(
I loved it and would pay for it. But after 3 months of restarting it a couple of times a day since the 2018 Mac update, I switched to TablePlus.
I still miss SequelPro, as its search and export features where way better then TablePlus’ way.

#87> After 1 year, you can continue using TablePlus without any limitations but you can't upgrade to the latest version. If you want to upgrade, you must renew the license, the renewal fee is much cheaper than buying a new one. This sort of put me off. Personally I am fine with a single user perpetual license for my use case. But as they are claiming it being a young project and likely to have more bugs than your averag…
TablePlus for 2 Macs with 12 months of updates: $99 SetApp subscription for 2 Macs (includes TablePlus): $108/year
does SetApp show ads? what is the difference between business and personal pricing? they seem to be the same.

Using Postico for long time, great so far and is also cheaper.

#89I have been looking for a native app alternative to pgAdmin ever since they changed it over to a browser based application. I will have to check this out. Actually, if people have suggestions, I'll listen!
I have used both Postico and Tableplus extensively, and if you are sure that you are going to be working with Postgres only, its the better, more Mac-like app.
However, both are a serious upgrade over PgAdmin :)
Re: TablePlus – Modern, Native Tool for Database Management
#90Postico is a nice Mac alternative but is focused on Postgres DBs like Redshift.
I've been using Postico for years. High quality software.
