Pros
![[deleted]](https://avatars.slant.co/identicons/50/01aa8b5b-42bc-570f-8f6d-1c48ea34388e)
Pro Native experience and clean user interface
Postico is a native OS X app which is available through Mac App Store. The UI is fast, responsive and integrates seamlessly with the OS.
Pro Created by an experienced developer in the field
Postico is the successor of PG Commander, an older Mac Posgres GUI tool which is also widely used. They are both maintained by the same person.
Pro Easy to use
Way less confusing than other DB managers, and has a simple tabbed interface that feels more like VS Code.
Pro Free and Open Source
MIT License!
Pro Postgres
I use SQLite, MySQL, and Postgres, and Beekeeper supports all of them!
Pro Autocomplete
The autocomplete is useful but not obtrusive
Cons
Con No multiple query tabs in the free trial version
To be fair, multiple windows / tabs IS a feature. It's just part of the paid version.
Con Commercial
Postico is a commercial app, with a one-time fee of $35. There is a free trial available.
Con Not for a DBA
It's great for web/app developers who interact with a database, but if you're a full time DBA you probably have better powertools available
