Postico is a nice Mac alternative but is focused on Postgres DBs like Redshift.
Been using it since its first stable release, absolutely reliable and easy to work with. Version 2, which should be released soon, is even nicer.

Re: TablePlus – Modern, Native Tool for Database Management
#102The application looks and feels nice, but the per-device pricing/licensing model seems severely outdated to me.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.
Disagreed. I have a MBP, a Linux desktop and a Thinkpad running both Linux and Windows. My one subscription to a Jetbrains product covers all of them provided I don't run the program at the same time across multiple machines.
Believing that most engineers only have one computer IMO seems out of touch with reality.

#103No mention of DynamoDB or Cosmos. Why can’t these DB’s get some love from tool vendors?
dbeaver supports dynamoDB, and it is an awesome product free of cost.

You can also get TablePlus though a Setapp[1] subscription. (Unfortunately Setapp is also licensed on a per device basis, but you get 2 Macs out of box and you could buy extra seats at $5/mo/seat.[2] I think named licenses are hard to offer because a lot of people abuse them by sharing with coworkers and friends.) Having used TablePlus for a couple months with both Postgres and SQLite, I only have positive things to…
For Mac apps, one can simply bind the license to the user's name, with some allowance for edit distance (and a few automated name changes), which can solve the casual license sharing. Adding a "Licensed to John Smith" message during load time also helps with this.

And also includes their database tool, DataGrip.

#106I saw TablePlus first time again in HN, (circa 2016) since then it is go-to tool for databases.
Many DB connection UI's (except MySQL Workbench and Sequel Pro I think) requires some kind of purchase. Besides My company uses Sequel Pro it always had either crashed or having slow import/export speeds etc.
Even TablePlus can import/export between engines using CSV files, which is IMHO awesome option to have.

does SetApp show ads? what is the difference between business and personal pricing? they seem to be the same.
Yeah, I am getting the same impression that the personal might have ads? not sure. I am trying it now and the trial version doesn't show me ads, at least not yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No ads in Setapp.

Which is awesome by itself. I use it regularly and only have minor issues with some of it's behavior, but the experience is worlds-ahead than what I've encountered previously at that price point.
Re: TablePlus – Modern, Native Tool for Database Management
#110I like how TablePlus makes a yearly post. It is relevant for HN users and will deliver them nice sales but I wonder what is the policy for pasting same urls.
In product hunt I see same products arriving again with version #2 e.t.c
I know VSCode and Typescript announce their new versions here too.
May be the official policy is "it doesn't matter, unless too spammy?"
