TablePort is a fast, native database client and database GUI for Mac. It works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, libSQL and Turso, Redis, MongoDB, Cassandra and Firestore, with SQL Server, Oracle and Cloudflare D1 in preview. It is free and open source: a lightweight alternative to TablePlus, Postico and pgAdmin, built with Swift and AppKit on a Rust core.
Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later on Apple silicon.
Public beta. TablePort is new. Try it on development data first, and please report problems.
- Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB, SQLite files, libSQL and Turso, Redis (key tree, value viewers and a console), MongoDB (collections as tables, mongo shell commands), Apache Cassandra and Google Cloud Firestore. SQL Server and Azure SQL, Oracle Database and Cloudflare D1 are in preview: they are built and tested offline but not yet against a live server.
- Connections: paste a connection URL, TLS (disable, prefer, require, verify-full), SSH tunnels with a password or key, colour tags, read-only mode. Passwords stay in the macOS Keychain.
- Data grid: sort, filter, page through large tables, select cells, edit in place or in a cell editor for long text and JSON, follow foreign keys.
- Safe changes: edits, new rows and deletes stay pending until you review the SQL and commit them in one transaction. Production connections ask first.
- Query editor: run the statement under the cursor or everything, cancel, beautify, line numbers, errors marked in place, history and saved queries.
- Copy and export: copy rows as CSV or
INSERTstatements; export a table to CSV, JSON or SQL. - Fast: switching between large tables takes about 60–100 ms.
TablePort is for people who want a native Mac database GUI without a subscription or a heavy Java or Electron app. If you use TablePlus, Postico, pgAdmin, DBeaver or DataGrip on a Mac, TablePort covers the daily work (browse, filter, edit, query, export) and switches between large tables faster than TablePlus in our tests.

- Download the latest
.dmgfrom Releases. - Open it and drag TablePort to Applications.
- The first time, macOS blocks the app because it isn't notarized yet. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
TablePort updates itself (Settings › Updates).
- macOS 14 Sonoma or later
- A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later). Intel Macs are not supported yet.
- PostgreSQL 12 or later
- Oracle Database needs Oracle Instant Client, which you download from Oracle and choose in the connection's Instant Client tab
TablePort is a Swift app (AppKit and SwiftUI) on a Rust core that does all the database work, connected with UniFFI.
Requirements: Xcode command-line tools, Rust (rustup), and mac-kit (the
author's shared build, settings and update kit) checked out next to this
repository. mac-kit is not public yet, so building from source is not possible
outside the author's machine for now.

TablePort goes online only to reach your own database servers (for Firestore and Cloudflare D1, Google's and Cloudflare's APIs) and to check for updates.
