QueryDeck is a native macOS database client built with Swift. Open-source and native, but a general-purpose browser.Here's how they compare.
General-purpose database browser with no project awareness.
No ORM auto-detection. You still copy-paste connection strings from your .env.
No query notebooks. Query tabs only, no way to mix SQL with documentation.
AGPLv3 license can be a blocker for enterprise or commercial embedding.
18+ databases is impressive but most app developers only use 2-3.
CLI auto-detects your ORM (Prisma, Drizzle, TypeORM, SQLAlchemy) and connects instantly.
SQL notebooks: mix SQL, Markdown, and results in one exportable document.
Project-aware: understands your ORM schema, not just the raw database.
Focused on the 5 databases app developers actually use.
Standard proprietary license, no AGPLv3 concerns for enterprise.
Migration-focused guide for switching from TablePro.
The database client that knows your project. $79 one-time. All your Macs.
