After years of using phpMyAdmin, switching to Beekeeper Studio felt like moving from a flip phone to a smartphone. - MySQL Developer
Beekeeper Studio is a modern database client that provides a desktop-native experience. While phpMyAdmin is a web-based tool primarily for MySQL accessed through a browser, Beekeeper Studio offers a responsive desktop application with support for MySQL and many other databases.
Like phpMyAdmin, 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 phpMyAdmin is like comparing a modern desktop app to a traditional web interface.
phpMyAdmin is a web-based MySQL administration tool that requires PHP and web server setup. It’s been around since 1998 and is often available through hosting providers, but its interface shows its age.
Use phpMyAdmin if you’re working with shared hosting that provides it preinstalled, or if you prefer web-based tools integrated with your server environment.
Use Beekeeper Studio if you want a faster, more responsive experience with a modern interface, better query management, and no need for server-side installation.
Beekeeper Studio made my database workflows so much faster compared to phpMyAdmin, with features like autosave and query history that I now can’t live without. - Web 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
