App Developer with PostGIS

QueryDeck for Spatial App Developers

QueryDeck is a native macOS database client built for spatial app developers. Read spatial data without leaving your database client.

You build apps with geometry columns: delivery zones, courier paths, coverage areas, store locations. Most Mac database clients give you coordinates as text at best. None render the actual shape on a map. QueryDeck previews every spatial cell on a native MapKit overlay so you can verify a polygon without leaving the result grid.

01Sound familiar?
×

Native Mac clients surface geometry as text at best. Coordinates, not shapes. You still open a browser viewer to see what a polygon actually looks like.

×

Postico displays PostGIS columns as EWKT text only. Coordinates, no shape.

×

TablePlus has a hover preview, but it is buried in a popup and lacks polygon-with-hole and multi-geometry rendering.

×

DBeaver Community has a Leaflet map viewer, but it is Java and Eclipse, not native macOS.

×

QGIS is a full GIS application, not a database client. Overkill for a developer who just wants to verify a row.

Pasting WKB hex (or even WKT) into gis.tools or a browser viewer is the workflow nobody admits to.

02How QueryDeck helps

Geometry and geography columns decode to readable WKT (SRID=4326;POINT(4.35 50.84)) directly in the result grid.

Double-click any spatial cell for a native MapKit overlay. Points, linestrings, polygons, multi-geometries, geometry collections, polygons with holes — all handled.

Works in three places: SQL query tab, table browser, and notebook SQL cell.

Built on Apple Silicon with Swift and AppKit. No Java VM, no web view, no Leaflet tiles.

Same client also detects your Drizzle, Prisma, or TypeORM project and connects with one CLI command.

Pre-filter discards non-spatial text so unknown columns are never mis-decoded.

03A day with QueryDeck
01

Open your delivery-zones project: `qdeck .` detects the ORM, connects to PostgreSQL.

02

Query: `SELECT id, name, area FROM delivery_zones;` — the area column shows readable WKT.

03

Double-click any area row. MapKit popover renders the polygon over Apple Maps.

04

Open the customer_addresses table in the browser, double-click a point cell to verify the coordinate.

05

Create a notebook to document the spatial fix, SQL cell + Markdown notes + inline map preview.

06

Export the notebook to PDF for the PR review.
