Sequel Ace overview

Sequel Ace is the "sequel" to longtime macOS tool Sequel Pro. Sequel Ace is a fast, easy-to-use Mac database management application for working with MySQL & MariaDB databases.

With Sequel Ace, you can write custom queries, or utilize the built-in filtering system to scope down to just what you're looking for. SSH, socket, and local connections are all supported, making all your databases accessible with ease.

What's new in version 5.4.0

  • Added keyword highlighting and autocomplete for MyISAM, Aria, CSV, and other MySQL and MariaDB storage engines.
  • Added a refreshed app icon with light and dark appearances for modern macOS.
  • Improved table list compatibility with PolarDB-X and other MySQL-compatible servers.
  • Kept the app responsive during long-running column removal and improved cancellation reliability.
  • Fixed crashes when closing the field editor after viewing very large values.
  • Fixed table refreshes adding duplicate empty filter rows.
  • Fixed SSH connections so a blank port field respects the port configured in OpenSSH.
  • Fixed MySQL online help searches for topics containing special characters.
  • Various stability, compatibility, and modernization improvements.

There's a reason Sequel Ace has five stars: it beats out ALL competition in the SQL client space with ease but charges nothing. I have not found a single paid client that comes close. To be fair though, I haven't looked in years. Not since Sequel Pro because this app is that good. Stop wasting time and money on paid solutions when the best one by leaps and bounds is free.

This is an amazingly well designed app that takes the crown after the demise of equally great Sequel Pro. I use it locally, into Docker and over ssh to real web sites. I import, export, test and run sql modifications. Wonderful experience.

I was a happy user of Sequrl Pro which, unfortunately, was discontinued. Sequel Ace takes up the concept and presentation. The interface is clear and easy to use. For managing MySQL databases, it's the ideal solution.
