SQL Gnome

SQL Gnome is a native macOS client for MySQL that lets users browse tables, write and run queries, edit rows, and manage server connections. It opens quickly, supports large tables, and provides a table view with paging, sorting, and a filter builder, as well as the ability to copy rows as JSON or INSERT statements. The query workspace offers multiple tabs, autocomplete, multi‑statement scripts, query history, saved queries, and a built‑in safety limit to prevent accidental data loss.

The tool is aimed at developers and database administrators who work with MySQL on macOS and need a lightweight, non‑Electron application that integrates with the operating system. Connections can be grouped, color‑tagged, and reordered, with passwords stored in the macOS Keychain and support for SSH tunneling and TLS encryption.

SQL Gnome emphasizes a minimal, “no‑bloat” design, focusing on everyday database tasks such as schema exploration, row editing, and query execution while keeping the interface native to macOS. It is offered as a 14‑day free trial with a one‑time purchase option.
