I am reluctant to try because the last thing I want is another subscription. I am sorry. Otherwise, I really could use great tool to model databases ie. Postgres.

? subscription ? You can download the tool and run it locally.

No, you can't. You can download the source code and build it yourself, or you can download a binary demo, or you can pay for a binary.

I used this tool a lot on Arch which had PKGBUILD for it on AUR but I wasn't able to build it on MacOS.

But you don't have to pay for a subscription. You pay for a binary plus x months of updates up front--it's not subscription software.

We had a developer start using this quietly a few years ago. Rapidly discovered when the the build broke and a ticket to install pgmodeler on CI server popped into my queue. From memory it's, at least was, very opinionated or limited depending on how charitable you want to be.
