Been using this for a year or so as my daily basic DB client. Really like it for what it is and can definitely recommend it for quick and simple DB operations.

Been using this for a year or so as my daily basic DB client. Really like it for what it is and can definitely recommend it for quick and simple DB operations.
I put it in the same category as tableplus - its a nice simple db client when all you need to do is browse some data, edit a row or two, etc. The community edition of beekeeper, however, has less annoyances than tableplus's free version imo.
For more advanced use-cases, it doesn't come close to dbeaver or tools like that, but it also isn't designed to imo.
Looking forward to an (admittedly big and clunky) PR of mine to beekeeper potentially being merged that adds support for connecting to aws rds instances via iam (cli) :)
- simonbarker87 3y agoI’ve literally just started using TablePlus as I get it as part of SetApp so this is a really handy comparison. I was tempted to give this a try but sounds like I’m getting something very similar with TablePlus for money I’m already spending each month. BeeKeeper looks very nice from what I can see though so might still try it.
- rathboma 3y agoI made Beekeeper Studio because the lack of a good SQL editor on Linux drove me crazy. TablePlus is great on MacOS, but when I started it didn't even have a Linux version. I have full feature parity across all OSes, which I'm pretty proud of as a one-man team (although I do have some AMAZING part time help)
- rathboma 3y agoThank you for using my app :-).
