Database GUIs (Dev Tools)

General-purpose desktop GUIs

• ★ Beekeeper Studio — open source, free Community Edition, paid Ultimate. The default free pick.
• DBeaver Community — free, supports every DB you've heard of. Java-based, less pretty than TablePlus / Beekeeper but more powerful.
• DataGrip (JetBrains) — paid; best query editor, deep refactoring; free for OSS / students.
