Our team has migrated from DBeaver to Beekeeper recently and it has been a pleasure. My major ask would be that it saves my connection by default.

Migrated to Pop OS and one of the first suggestions for a DB manager in the Pop Shop was Beekeeper. I tested it out since I'd only used DBeaver before. Upon finding out it didn't save my connection by default, I instantly went back to DBeaver.

It does! If it doesn't thats a bug, please file a ticket :-)

Does anyone know how this compares to DBeaver?

Looks nicer but I guess not 7usd/month nicer if it is not your main tool.

I have a 40% off sale right now, which means its $51 for a year, if you cancel right away you still get lifetime access and 1 year of software updates.

I think that's a pretty fair price, but always happy to get more pricing feedback.

I've been using this on Macs as my DB manager on a new project (MariaDB at the moment) and have been pretty happy with it. I use SQL Editor to do the design and to generate DB-creation scripts, and once the DB is up and running I maintain it with Beekeeper while I code in my IDEs.

Thanks so much for using my app! <3

It looks a lot like Tableplus [1] Who copied whom? [1] https://tableplus.com/

They came first, I wouldn't say I copied them, but we both value good UX and app design. I actually copied an old Mac app called SequelPro, which I missed greatly when moving to PSQL and a Linux desktop OS :-).

When I started building Beekeeper there were 0 open source DB apps with good UX, especially on Linux. So that's why it exists.

I now have a paid version to support development as it has grown super quickly over the last 3 years.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Since you mentioned it, I was always curious if the team behind TablePlus were/are connected to the team behind Postico [1]. The UIs for both (at least before Postico 2) are almost identical. [1] https://eggerapps.at/postico2/

Yet I still don't think nothing beats the good old SequelPro's elegant interface. Somehow not really liking the fork.

YES! That's why I built Beekeeper Studio. Still have fond feelings for that app, especially the pancakes logo.

Can you ping me to explain 'not saving your connection by default'? That sounds like a bug or a bad UX decision as it does save in recent connections, even if you don't explicitly save it.

I'll take a second look at it :) Thanks for pointing that out
