macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Ships as a Universal Binary for Apple Silicon and Intel.

Similar feature set (inline editing, multi-tab, SSH tunneling) but free and open-source. TablePro adds tree-sitter highlighting, built-in AI assistance, and auto-reconnect.

Chat panel, inline ghost-text completions, and right-click actions for explaining or optimizing queries. Supports Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter, and custom endpoints. Keys stored in macOS Keychain.

Enter host, port, and credentials directly, or use SSH tunneling with key or password auth. TablePro can also import settings from your ~/.ssh/config.
