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.)

Have you used Postico? I have both it and DataGrip but find myself primarily in Postico for Postgres, feels lighter weight and easier to navigate

Agreed that Postico is amazing. Totally worth the $40 or whatever it costs.

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.

Yeah the crashes in Mojave were driving me crazy. Then to my surprise I tried the test build here and its way more stable and even has multiple filters, a feature I've been wanting for years. https://sequelpro.com/test-builds

Is 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?

Someone else in the comments said that Sequel Pro inspired them to make a Postgres compatible clone.

edit: oh I derped there. I didn't follow the link before I commented and once I did I noticed they're subscription based :\

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 had a lot of trouble with Mojave and the crashing you are reporting is annoying. I’ve been using their test builds the past couple months with zero problems though.

Projects like these should be celebrated through donations and this project makes it easy. When’s the last time you’ve seen freeware developer tool for macOS that’s not from a corporation with money to spare? I personally can’t think of anything beyond iTerm (utility), Homebrew (utility), ...aaand that's where my list ends.

I don't see many MacOS-specific developer tools in general. Command line tools are portable, at least between Unices, and often even beyond that. Going back to the MPW...

Nowadays even IDEs aren't platform-specific anymore, more often than not.
