About Postico

Postico is a native macOS client for PostgreSQL from Egger Apps. Postico 2 is built for people who use databases, ranging across researchers, analysts, app developers and students, and focuses on entering, searching and editing data as well as running SQL queries.

Clicking a table in the sidebar shows its data right away, and users can add, edit and filter rows, with helpers such as a foreign key picker and a row detail sidebar. A graphical structure editor creates and alters tables, with columns, indexes and constraints in one view. The multi-file query editor lets users organize SQL files into folders, open the same file in several tabs, autosave changes and format queries with the built-in pgFormatter. It works with PostgreSQL and compatible systems including Amazon Redshift, CockroachDB and Greenplum, and requires macOS 14 or later. Postico is proprietary software installed locally, with downloads and a purchase page on the vendor's site.
