A fast, native MySQL client for macOS
Connect, browse, query, and compare MySQL schemas in a native Rust window without Electron or a WebView.
What you get
- MySQL 5.7 and 8.x, plus MariaDB compatibility
- Streamed result sets in a virtualized GPU-rendered grid
- Keychain-first credential storage; SSH tunneling lands with the public beta
- Schema diff and DDL generation between environments
- Schema-aware completion for databases, tables, and columns
Why macOS specifically
Apple-silicon native. Renders through Metal — the same path Zed uses — with proper macOS conventions: native menu bar, ⌘-shortcuts, Keychain-stored credentials.
The macOS build shares the same Rust + GPUI codebase and core workflows as the Windows and Linux builds.
