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.

Anyone care to say what the pros & cons vs JetBrain’s DataGrip are?

it's opensource https://github.com/beekeeper-studio/beekeeper-studio

The community edition, which lacks some features.

Been using this for a year or so as my daily basic DB client. Really like it for what it is and can definitely recommend it for quick and simple DB operations.

I put it in the same category as tableplus - its a nice simple db client when all you need to do is browse some data, edit a row or two, etc. The community edition of beekeeper, however, has less annoyances than tableplus's free version imo.

For more advanced use-cases, it doesn't come close to dbeaver or tools like that, but it also isn't designed to imo.

Looking forward to an (admittedly big and clunky) PR of mine to beekeeper potentially being merged that adds support for connecting to aws rds instances via iam (cli) :)

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

See also: DBeaver, pgadmin, MySQL workbench, Navicat, MS Access, ...

These graphical database clients mostly end up looking the same in the end.

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.

DBeaver has the same open source 'community' version model.

Beekeeper seems like a less clunky, but also much less featureful alternative. I mean that in a good way really, I quite like the idea of 'slightly more than psql' (but not too much), as long as it's fast/lightweight.
