THE Go-to SQL Tool for Experts and Novices Sequel Ace is an unofficial "sequel" to longtime macOS tool Sequel Pro. Sequel Ace is a fast, easy-to-use Mac database management application for working with MySQL & MariaDB databases. With Sequel Ace, you can write custom queries, or utilize the built-in filtering system to scope down to just what you're looking for. SSH, socket, and local connections are all supported, making all your databases accessible with ease. Sequel Ace is open source! If you experience issues or have suggestions, check out the GitHub repository to get involved - https://github.com/Sequel-Ace/Sequel-Ace

An indispensable tool for your database toolkit.

This is a handy, quick, Mac native tool for working with MySQL databases. Sure, it's got all your normal tools for working with databases, see table info, details, change schemas, write sql etc. but there's a lot of little hidden gems. Write a query or filter the rows in a database and if needs be you can select all the rows and copy it as a giant SQL Insert statement. Very handy for getting test data from a production database into your test database. Poke around in the tool, you'll be surprised at some of it's features. It's not perfect, if possible I would have given it 4.5 stars. There's some quirks that will drive you crazy. Getting the bundle, i.e. plugin to format your sql statement takes some real digging on the inter webs to make work. That could definitely be a lot easier to do. However, it is open source and available on Git Hub and I know the Moballo, LLC team is focused on trying to address some of the quirks. And, I know that it's already getting a following on Git. Looking forward to seeing all the enhancements to come.

This tool, just like Sequel Pro that it says it's a successor to, is an absolutely excellent tool for working with mysql.This tool is better than the tools I've tried that are paid for. It's simply an excellent tool, with a powerful and complete feature set.I would absolutely pay for this tool. I've been a long-time user and fan of Sequel Pro, and after returning to using mysql after a couple of years, I was so saddened that it no longer worked. But this is like the long-awaited update to Sequel Pro I had wished for. I can't recommend this enough. It's not just good because it's free. It's just plain good.

So much more sensible that other db apps

I have long used Sequel Ace and it's predecessor, and when I'm force to us other tools, I'm constantly saying "I just want to..."The UX for this tool is light-years beyond the others. Clean and minimal, functions organized logically, and giant piles of useless information hidden. Choose a thing, work on that thing, move on. Keyboard shortcuts are useful as well.The query editor pane is kind of janky, with stray characters introduced when completions are offered, but I can live with that, when I don't have to live with the terrible, terrible design of MySQL Workbench.

Great tool until v6, zero support available

Sequel Ace has been a tool I use daily to manage our databases and it has worked more or less flawlessly for years. Unfortunately, version 6 seems quite broken as SSH connections now fail to the same servers where they worked perfectly with the previous version. There is no actual support for the app, sadly, and no way to submit feedback as “Issues” on Github are locked. So I’m commenting here that “read_passphrase: can’t open /dev/tty: Device not configured” errors are showing up where they’ve never showed up before (macOS 27, FWIW, but the previous version worked perfectly on this OS). I hope it can get fixed soon, having to use MySQL Workbench or the CLI is really a pain.

- Fixed SSH tunnel connections by restoring the proven transport default while retaining the secure socket fallback - Restored AWS RDS IAM and cleartext authentication plugin connections - Fixed misleading Local Network permission warnings for unrelated connection errors - If you missed 6.0.0, Sequel Ace 6 also brings editable Record View, richer content filters, fuzzy table search, automatic JSON detection, connection-color title bars, and many import, export, compatibility, and stability improvements; macOS 13.5 or later is required
