Beekeeper Studio
Beekeeper Studio is my go-to SQL GUI after looking for a modern HeidiSQL alternative that works on all platforms. - User
Beekeeper Studio is a database manager that prioritizes usability and cross-platform support. While HeidiSQL is a solid Windows-only tool, Beekeeper Studio offers a clean, modern interface on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Like HeidiSQL, Beekeeper Studio is open source with its community edition available on GitHub, and also offers a more feature-rich commercial edition available on this website.
Beekeeper Studio started as an open source project, and while we’re a small team, our mission is to build good software for everyone.
Beekeeper Studio vs HeidiSQL is like comparing a modern cross-platform app to a traditional Windows-only tool.
HeidiSQL is a mature and powerful Windows database tool with strong MySQL support. It’s been around since 2002 and has a loyal following among Windows users.
Use HeidiSQL if you only work on Windows and are already comfortable with its interface and workflow.
Use Beekeeper Studio if you want a modern, intuitive interface that works across all operating systems, with excellent support for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server, and more.
I needed something like HeidiSQL but for macOS, and Beekeeper Studio filled that gap perfectly with its clean design and powerful features. - Developer
I built Beekeeper Studio because I got fed up with overly complex database apps that I had to re-learn every time I used them. I wanted something fast and light that felt like VSCode or Sublime Text, but for SQL.
Spoiler: I couldn't find a good app that fit my criteria, so I built one. That's why Beekeeper Studio exists today.
Beekeeper Studio is the only cross-platform database client with a fast, modern UI that feels like it was built this century. Beekeeper is designed to be fast, smooth, and user friendly in a way that most database apps are not.
Beekeeper Studio fits right in. I didn’t have to take hours to figure out how to properly use it, and it was a seamless addition to my toolkit - CS
Beekeeper Studio supports a wide range of databases, such as SQLite, Postgres, and even Oracle. Easily identify different environments by color coding each connection, and the whole app will change to match when you connect.
Nice support for multiple environments (I label prod red, dev yellow, localhost green) - Chander
Beekeeper Studio works the same on MacOS, Windows, and Linux. Like you, we tinker with all types of computers, so we want our software to be top-notch, even especially on Linux.
Beekeeper Studio has a consistent experience across OSes, and syncs my connections between computers and OSes. - Jeff
