It hasn't been updated in a very long time. Constant crashes on Mojave. I have transitioned away to TablePlus and DataGrip. Too bad because it was a very good tool for quick edits.

I too transitioned from Sequel Pro to TablePlus. Sequel Pro was buggy and wasn't supporting MySQL 8 properly. TablePlus has been great.

I'm afraid SequelPro may be coming to a dead end without a real active development (night lies occur but no stable release in years without latest MySQL support.)

Love DataGrip...was a big Sequel Pro fan until I started on a project with PostgreSQL and found DataGrip. Haven’t looked back. (I’m now using DataGrip for MySQL as well.)

After a few months I couldn't stand the cluttered interface and generally I need to click twice more to achieve anything, I went back to SequelPro.

FWIW I had the same reaction, then upgraded due to the Mojave crashes and discovered that the nightly doesn't update that often and is stable. It's been fine for months.

Same here. They really need to put out a release for it so people can auto update.

What is the reason for them from releasing a stable for years? Feels like it's dead without uncovering GitHub activities.

I'm personally a big fan of TablePlus: https://tableplus.io

Me too. I like their “commit” feature and that it shows you every action you perform with a query and you can commit or remove each one before allying changes

You can see the SQL run through Log in SequelPro too.

As others have mentioned, it has not received much love recently from the developer. My guess is that it is due to the pricing model and accepting donations. I have donated $200 back in 2014 but I did not see many supporters back then and none now. There is no incentive for the developer to keep maintaining and enhancing the product. Everyone who used this tool in the past and liked itshould consider supporting it if…

Can they not just turn into subscription model for something like $10/mo or even $5/mo and get things done instead of floating with nightlies?

I'm sure people cry and scream for going paid but seeing this disappear with lack of recent MySQL version support and likely never support any other DB looks pretty sad too.

It's a SQL client miracle ! And I'm guessing it was more than DBeaver became popular and everyone felt like it was worth getting some free traffic to help boost sales.

Doesn't everybody always up and downvote stories just so related ones are next to each other? It sure seems like it.

I thought you can't downvote a story but just ignore it.

I used and loved Sequel Pro for years, but interface limitations and crashes finally set me off looking for a replacement after some stressful production debugging sessions. After trying a few like MySQL Workbench and Navicat, I landed on Querious and haven't looked back since. It's not free in either sense of the word but well worth the ~$50 USD license IMO.

I tried it years ago but is this still being developed actively?

But, the difference is that you can view SQL before submitting to the server.

Yes it is. They just released an update as recently as December.

I was looking to see if anybody mentioned Querious.

It’s a wonderful Mac app. I love the interface. And yes the WHERE clause in the view is amazing.
