I've built Selectable - a freemium Postgres client for Android devices. It's currently available for open testing, links below.
The key feature is the SQL query editor. The query editor was designed to be mobile-friendly. With autocomplete and a touch-friendly way to select parts of a SQL query, writing SQL statements with the query editor can - in some cases - be faster than typing the same query on a desktop.
The app supports the usual SQL client things:
- Browsing schemas, tables, and columns
- Running custom SQL statements
- Viewing results as a list, or as a table.
- Exporting results to CSV
- Saving queries (You can save one query in the free version)
The project is in very early stages, and is still missing a lot of features - notably the ability to insert, update, delete, or perform DDL via the query editor.
The app currently only supports Postgres, and is currently only available on Android.
Please give it a spin, and let me know if you have any feedback or feature requests.

- jayknight 2y agoI'm not sure I'll ever need this, but it looks really neat.
- dandigangi 2y agoFull honesty - I really have a hard time seeing the need for things like this on mobile.
- danirod 2y agoI suppose having quick access to a database in case of emergency without having to rush to a computer, similar to how some people treat having SSH clients on their phones.
- yen223 2y agoThis is a very fair point. I'm not trying to replace desktops with mobile here. I think database administration is still going to be easier with a big monitor and a keyboard, and that's not going to change. Rather I'm trying to open up database administration to people who don't have desktops, or who are more comfortable working on their phones.
- MrLeap 2y agoYou might be a little ahead of the times, but I think you're keyed into something with this.
- nkrisc 2y agoOr sometimes a phone is what you have and you need access. Looks like very nice UI model, it’s not an easy problem to solve. Also one of the few times a portrait YT video is wholly appropriate.
- rtcoms 2y agoPeople can mirror mobile screen to TV/Monitor and still use it. With the tri-fold mobiles and Samsung Dex like feature coming, that day may not be far when mobile become the single work machine.
- ray_v 2y agoI could see myself using it from time to time ... I'm _just_ nerdy enough to even do it in public!
- glazskunrukitis 2y agoI, as an indie hacker/developer, have had countless times where I need to access db from mobile. I have even logged in via terminal to get to psql. Sadly this specific app doesn't seem very polished or useful.
- yen223 2y agoHi, developer of the app here. If you don't mind me asking, what is the biggest thing missing from the app that keeps it from being useful?
- ilrwbwrkhv 2y agoReally slick! Will try it out today.
- iudqnolq 2y agoI like it. A few suggestions; - When in the table explorer it's odd that the primary action - viewing a table - is behind a dropdown menu. maybe clicking the table name opens the browse rows screen and clicking a column opens with a select prefilled. - Please default to a limit 500 or something like Jetbrains to prevent me making stupid mistakes.
