sqlclientYour MySQL client that never drops the connection.
The connection lives in the Rust core, not the browser tab. Reload the UI, put the Mac to sleep, let the network blip – your session stays. Native to macOS, no Java, no Electron.
in 30 seconds, no sudo
Something to touch today.
One command. Signed universal binary, notarized by Apple. 30-day full version, then you keep reading for free, forever.
curl -fsSL https://dl.datargo.com/sqlclient/install.sh | sh
What does this command do?
It downloads the notarized app into your Applications folder. No sudo, no background service, no telemetry. You can read the script first.
the connection lives in the Rust core
Reloading the UI doesn’t kill your session. That’s architecture, not a promise.
With most tools the connection is tied to the interface. Reload the UI, close the laptop, let the network blip – session gone, reconnect wait. With sqlclient the connection lives as a pool in the Rust core and keeps running while the interface redraws.
- Survives UI reload and app update
- No reconnect wait after sleep
- Multiple servers at once, each in its own workspace
local-first, 0 telemetry
Your credentials never leave your Mac.
No analytics SDK, no phone-home, no crash upload. What leaves your Mac? Nothing – except, optionally, end-to-end encrypted sync over your own iCloud.
Encrypted vault
All credentials in an AES-256-GCM vault, derived with 210,000 PBKDF2 iterations.
Touch ID
Unlock with a fingerprint; the key lives in the login keychain – no master-password typing.
0 telemetry
We don’t even know you installed it. Check for yourself with Little Snitch or lsof.

everything in, nothing buried
One tool for the grid, SQL, schema, privileges and server admin.
From the SELECT to the INNODB_TRX lock killer, from the Excel import to the ER diagram. No more tool zoo, no more endless tab-switching.
- Editable data grid – Edit inline (PK/unique-based), insert/delete/NULL, all as one transaction. Full keyboard nav, sorting, quick filter, copy as CSV/JSON.
- SQL console – Transaction mode & query stop
- Interactive ER diagram & GUI structure / DDL editor
- Server administration – INNODB_TRX-Locks
- Import & export – Excel, CSV, JSON, SQL
Comparison
Lighter than DBeaver. Deeper than Sequel Ace. More private than phpMyAdmin.
We’ll say it straight: no Java, no web server, no connection that’s dead after lunch.
Comparison based on publicly documented features, as of 2026. Product names belong to their respective vendors.
Pricing
You pay to write, reading is free.
Net prices per write seat per year. Readers and browsers are always free.
Navicat-class server admin and ER diagram – for €159 instead of $1,299.
Free: 30-day full version, then permanently free read-only. Net prices per write seat/year, readers always free. Proposed pricing, as of 2026 – subject to change.
the last brakes
What you’re wondering right now.
The script downloads the Apple-notarized app into your Applications folder. No sudo, no background service, no telemetry. You can read it first; the binary is signed and universal (Apple Silicon and Intel).
None. No analytics SDK, no phone-home, no crash upload. Local-first means your Mac, your data, period. Check it with Little Snitch or lsof.
sqlclient doesn’t hold you hostage. You keep reading, browsing and exporting for free, forever – only writing needs a license.
Because DBeaver is a Java app: sluggish start, foreign Mac feel, strong encryption only in the paid tier. sqlclient is native, keeps the connection alive and ships the vault by default. And reading is free here anyway.
No. Rust core, native macOS WebView, around 10 MB instead of 300. No bundled Chromium, no JVM start, loaded cold in under a second.
Yes – focused and deep instead of 20 databases done half-baked. PostgreSQL is on the roadmap, not in the marketing deck.
There’s a perpetual fallback: when your year runs out, you keep the last paid version permanently writable. The license is offline and signed (Ed25519); the app never phones home.
Yes. Connect via a bastion host using SSH port forwarding and TLS with your own CA/client certificates (.p12) – real verification instead of blind skip-verify.
