Beekeeper Studio

Beekeeper Studio is a free and open source SQL editor and database manager. Beekeeper Studio is cross-platform, and available for Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Features

• Autocomplete SQL query editor with syntax highlighting
• Tabbed interface, so you can multitask
• Sort and filter table data to find just what you need
• Sensible keyboard-shortcuts
• Save queries for later
• Query run-history, so you can find that one query you got working 3 days ago
• Default dark theme

One of our frustrations with other open-source SQL editors and database managers is that they take a 'kitchen sink' approach to features, adding so many features that the UI becomes cluttered and hard to navigate. We wanted a good looking, open source SQL workbench that's powerful, but also easy to use. We couldn't find one, so we created it!

Beekeeper Studio supports connecting to the following databases:

• SQLite
• MySQL
• MariaDB
• Postgres
• SQL Server
• Amazon Redshift

Big Thanks

Beekeeper Studio wouldn't exist without Sqlectron-core, the core database libraries from the (now unmaintained) Sqlectron project. Beekeeper Studio started as an experimental fork of that repository. A big thanks to @maxcnunes and the rest of the Sqlectron community.
