I'm personally a big fan of TablePlus: https://tableplus.io https://tableplus.io

Me too. I like their “commit” feature and that it shows you every action you perform with a query and you can commit or remove each one before allying changes

  You can see the SQL run through Log in SequelPro too.

    But, the difference is that you can view SQL before submitting to the server.

I looked into Table Plus when I found that Sequel Pro crashes more than NASCAR on a Sunday. But it’s pricing model doesn’t work for the way I work. I’m just one person, but use multiple computers simultaneously, making per-computer licensing prohibitive. Obviously phpMyAdmin is a tire fire. I’m still looking for a good macOS-native client similar to Sequel Pro. Bonus points if it has a usable iPad version.

  > I’m just one person, but use multiple computers simultaneously, making per-computer licensing prohibitive. Ouch, that is a bit pricey for one person with multiple computers, especially if the annual upgrade fee is also per computer. It makes me wonder if the licensing is tied to the motherboard / MAC address too, which is a pain when repairs happen. On the other hand, I'm really glad to see a developer charging a sustainable price for their product.

    which is a pain when repairs happen => TablePlus has a license manager where you can remove your old device, manage your license. The TablePlus license is the onetime purchase, if you don't need any new feature, you don't need to renew it anyway.

  SetApp might be good for you. Table Plus is in there and I'm sure you can have up to 3 machines in the default subscription

  As for crashing, just use the test builds: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18937589 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18937589

    I'd rather use my time getting things done than constantly catching up with latest builds and patches. That's the reason I switched to a Mac.

  I use it on multiple computers - jsut not at the same time. "If you want to use TablePlus on multiple devices you need to add more seats to your license. The number of seats is the number of devices you can log in to at the same time" https://tableplus.io/order/extend-seats https://tableplus.io/order/extend-seats So I took that to mean that I can have it on multiple machines, I just can't use them at the same time - which is fine, I can use my laptop or desktop depending on where I am.

    Thanks for the clarification. I'll have to take a second look at it, since I'll only use it on one machine at a time.

I like TablePlus, but at $59/yr a license is ridiculous. Luckily the feature set isn't that much greater with a license, just minor annoyance on tabs which I've developed a habit of closing a tab as soon as I don't need it.

  This is a perpetual (lifetime) license not yearly. You only need to pay if you want to upgrade. The price is not $59/year, the price is $29 to extend one year free of updates. I think without the tab limitation, you can be happier, more productive and earn more than $29/year.

Second this. I moved away from SequelPro about a year ago once the app started to crash occasionally. TablePlus isn't as feature rich but it's fast, uncluttered and pretty stable.
