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 not with money then with their time and knowledge on github.

#22Is this project still alive? they haven't had an official release since 2016 though the commit history shows some recent but unreleased work. That coupled with a lack of other RDBMS support has forced me to transition to other tools like DataGrip.
I liked the DataGrip tour, but I don’t believe in subscribing to software. Any other recommendations?
TablePlus.

Jetbrains give you a perpetual license. The subscription is for updates.

#24I have an up to date version running on an up to date macbook pro and it crashes every time I close a tab. Pretty annoying.
I do to. The latest Beta build does not have this issue though.
Ditto. Tab issue in prod release, Not nightly. I love the app but it’s made me look for diff options. I close tabs all day, it’s a big bug in my head that should’ve forced an update. Otherwise monster fan.

#26Great product. Switched from MySQL workbench and it was amazing. Haven’t upgraded to Mojave though. Apple hasn’t been the same since they switched to one year OS release cycles.

#27Great tool, would be nice to have INSERT / UPDATE table sql script generator.

Exactly my thought
Re: Sequel Pro – Open source macOS native MySQL GUI client
#29It 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.
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.)

#30Earlier quoted context omitted.
Use the nightly
The last thing I want to use when dealing with data is a nightly. Yes, I have backups; those are for rainy days, not my own recklessness.
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.
