Description
Postico is a modern database app for your Mac.
Postico is the perfect tool for data entry, analytics, and application development.
- connect to Postgres.app
- connect to PostgreSQL version 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 servers
- connect to cloud services like Heroku Postgres, Amazon Redshift, Amazon RDS
- connect to other RDBMs that use the PostgreSQL protocol, like CockroachDB or Greenplum
Postico is the perfect app for managing your data. It has great tools for data entry. Filter rows that contain a search term, or set up advanced filters with multiple conditions. Quickly view rows from related tables, and save time by editing multiple rows at once.
For analytics workloads, Postico has a powerful query editor with syntax highlighting and many advanced text editing features. Execute multiple queries at once, or execute them one at a time and export results quickly.
For application developers, Postico offers a full featured table designer. Add, rename and remove columns, set default values, and add column constraints (NOT NULL, UNIQUE, CHECK constraints, foreign keys etc.). Document your database by adding comments to every table, view, column, and constraint.
But the best part of Postico is how well it works. Postico is made on a Mac for a Mac. It works great with all your other Mac apps. Use all the usual keyboard shortcuts. Postico gets the basic things like copy/paste just right, and also supports more advanced features like services for text editing.
What’s New
Version 1.5.22
- More detailed error message when connecting to SSH server fails
- Use a find bar instead of a find panel in the SQL Query, since the find panel occasionally crashed the app.
- Fixed a potential bug where Postico would have unnecessary high CPU usage after an SSH tunnel was closed.
- Fixed a problem where some SSH private keys could not be read (and Postico asked for a passphrase even though the correct one was already entered)
- Updated bundled libraries: libssh2 0809c4b, libpq 14.7, and OpenSSL 1.1.1t
- Fixed size of some buttons
Ratings and Reviews
Delightful to use and work with
I’ve used many different db clients over the years, both free and premium, and this one is my most favourite by far, even if its exclusive only to Postgres.
It doesn’t abuse your computer resources (like most other clients, esp. ones built with Electron),
includes all the NECESSARY functionalities needed to work with Postgres,
and for what its worth, has a very intuitive very aesthetically pleasing UI.
That said, for its price, the app is sorely lacking power user and QOL features like basic graphs generation, in-depth performance debugging, auto-completions, schema-to-sql translator etc. I typically would not demand such things from a DB client, but for 70+ dollars, I definitely expected much more.
It’s good enough as it is, but I’m hoping more features will be added in the future, without compromising on its current small CPU and memory footprint.
