Forge 1.3.4 opens your files where they are, gives every statement its own result, and puts the results grid on the keyboard. FILES OPENED IN PLACE A DuckDB, SQLite, CSV, JSON, or SQL dump file you choose is no longer copied into Forge: it opens in place, and a file you move or rename is found again. When a dlt pipeline or a script writes to the same DuckDB or SQLite file, Refresh shows the new data; CSV, JSON, and SQL dump files are read when the connection opens. To write to a SQLite or DuckDB file outside Forge's own folder, allow access to its folder once (the button explains why). Connections created earlier keep their copy until you choose the file again. QUERY EDITOR Several statements separated by semicolons give one result per statement, with a selector above the grid. psql-style parameters :name, :'name', and :"name" work alongside {{name}} (on Oracle, :name stays a server bind variable). The autocomplete popup on Mac no longer replaces the schema you typed before the dot, and a semicolon typed while the popup is open leaves your text intact. Outside ClickHouse, a table or column named settings or format no longer breaks the default LIMIT. RESULTS GRID The selected row keeps keyboard focus: Up/Down, Home/End, and Page Up/Down move the selection, Left/Right pick a cell, Return edits that cell in an editable table, and Escape cancels. Command-C copies the selected row as tab-separated text, or the picked cell. The inspector has a Values pane showing every column of the selected row, in the data browser and in query results. On iPhone, Row Details in the long-press menu shows the same list.

Loads of bugs fixed, and everything that could be better is now better. Go on, open it up and have a look.

Forge 1.3 adds two enterprise databases and three Apple-native power features. MICROSOFT SQL SERVER (+ AZURE SQL) Connect to any SQL Server 2008+ or Azure SQL instance — pure Swift TDS protocol over NIO, no driver to install, no ODBC. SQL auth, TLS handshake (including Azure-required encryption), full schema introspection of databases, tables, columns, primary keys, foreign keys, and indexes via sys catalogs. Run T-SQL queries with familiar SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. SNOWFLAKE Native Snowflake support via the SQL API v2 with key-pair authentication. Paste your RSA private key into the password field once and Forge mints a fresh JWT before every query — no passwords, no OAuth dance, no SnowSQL CLI. Browse databases, schemas, tables, columns, and primary keys with the same UI as every other engine. LIVE DATA (auto-refresh) A new toggle in the Data Browser toolbar re-runs your query at the interval you pick (5 seconds to 5 minutes). New rows fade in green, changed cells light up yellow. Pauses automatically when you're editing a row or when the previous fetch is still in flight. SPOTLIGHT Saved queries and connections are indexed in Spotlight. Tap a result anywhere on macOS or iOS to jump straight into Forge with context. Search by title, by SQL fragment, or by tag. SHORTCUTS Three new App Intents: list connections, test a connection (ping), and run a saved query against any connection. Build your own Shortcuts on macOS and iOS, trigger them from Siri, the Touch Bar, the menu bar, or the Shortcuts app. QUALITY OF LIFE Forge now supports 22 data sources — five more than Beekeeper Ultimate. The Microsoft SQL Server, Snowflake, DuckDB, Cassandra, and ScyllaDB additions span this and the 1.2 cycles.

FIVE NEW DATA SOURCES — 18 TOTAL • Oracle Database — pure Swift NIO driver via oracle-nio. No Instant Client, no SQL*Plus, no JDBC. Connect with username/password and a service name. • Google BigQuery — serverless cloud data warehouse, REST v2. Paste a bearer token from `gcloud auth print-access-token` and start exploring datasets. • Trino / Presto — federated query engine over Hive, MySQL, Postgres connectors. Auth Basic or JWT auto-detected. • Turso — remote libSQL via Hrana over HTTPS with a bearer token. Production-grade SQLite-on-the-edge. • libSQL (local) — open .libsql/.sqlite files as a libSQL flavor of SQLite, with full read/write support. All five engines work with the AI Bridge: ask Claude, Cursor, or any MCP agent to list tables, describe schemas, and run queries — same prompt, any backend. FEATURE DISCOVERY Tips appear at relevant moments highlighting useful features — opening multi-GB SQL dumps with Dry Restore, the AI Bridge, reusable queries with {{var}} placeholders, snippet library with `:name` autocomplete, drag & drop files onto the sidebar, JSON cell inspector, and more. Settings → Feature Tips lets you toggle them off or browse the full catalog like the iOS Tips app. QUERY EDITOR Multi-tab editor with persistence across sessions. SQL formatter (⇧⌥F) on every dialect. Find & Replace (⌘F / ⌘⌥F). Snippet library: type `:name` to insert a template. Reusable queries with {{var}} placeholders. DATA BROWSER Inline cell editing with batch UPDATE. Insert via schema-aware form. Duplicate row context menu. Import CSV/JSON straight into a SQL table with a 4-step wizard. JSON cell inspector with collapsible tree. SIDEBAR Pin tables you use often. Folders to group connections. Drag a file onto the sidebar — .sqlite, .csv, .json, .sql.gz — and Forge opens it as a connection. macOS POWER USER Multi-window via ⌘N. Settings now split into General (Feature Tips, Acknowledgements) and AI Bridge tabs. iPad Settings now accessible from the sidebar. FIXES • Tab persistence: switching from Data to Query no longer wipes open tabs. • Identifier quoting handles all aliased SQL engines correctly. • Acknowledgements now include Citadel (SSH) and oracle-nio.

- Quick re-run with placeholders: write {{name}} anywhere in your query (for example, WHERE id = {{id}}) and a parameter bar appears above the editor. Change the value and press Cmd+Return to run, without retyping the SQL. On iPhone, tap the bolt button to enter values in a quick sheet. - More prominent results: bigger, bolder row count alongside execution time, plus a new toggle to put the result above the editor. - Smoother editing: query tabs now persist when you switch between the Data and Query views. Thanks for the feedback that drove these improvements. Keep it coming.

Forge 1.1 is a major update — a new AI Bridge, SSH tunnels, Elasticsearch, autocomplete, and more. AI BRIDGE (MCP SERVER) Talk to your databases from Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Cline, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant. A local server runs on your Mac that exposes your databases as tools to your AI agent. List tables, inspect schemas, run queries — in plain English. Read-only by default with explicit confirmation for writes. Credentials never leave your Mac. SSH TUNNEL Reach databases behind a bastion host without leaving the app. Password or private-key authentication (ed25519, RSA, with passphrase). Pure Swift, no openssh dependency. ELASTICSEARCH SUPPORT Browse Elasticsearch indexes like SQL tables. Minimal SELECT support plus raw JSON DSL for advanced queries. SQL AUTOCOMPLETE Smart suggestions in the Query Editor: keywords, table names, column names — with context awareness for FROM, JOIN, INTO, UPDATE. Native NSTextView completion on macOS, suggestion bar on iPhone and iPad. IMPORT / EXPORT CONNECTIONS Move your saved connections between devices via a single encrypted file. ChaCha20-Poly1305 + PBKDF2-SHA256 for end-to-end protection. ⌘⇧E to export, ⌘⇧I to import. MORE NATIVE TOUCHES Keyboard shortcuts for every common action. macOS Settings via ⌘,. Inline error toasts you can copy with one click. FIXES • ClickHouse: INSERT, CREATE, DROP and other write statements now execute correctly in the Query Editor. • macOS: closing the Settings window no longer triggers the Quit confirmation alert. • Connection Editor: error messages are now selectable and copyable.
