What are your favorite DB GUI tools?

I like Workbench for MySQL and Compass or Robo 3T for MongoDB.

What DB GUI tools have you tried and which ones do you like best?

Compass for MongoDB and Valentina Studio for postgresql.

For SQLite, I remembered it was SQLiteStudio, but it seems that the website has updated. (I also remembered that it was never first results on Google...)

I also remembered that DBeaver did its job well, for multiple kinds of RDBMS, based on JDBC.

Since I use MongoDB Atlas, I rarely use Compass, (but I need it sometimes, especially outside Atlas).

I use Atlas too, but find Compass to be way faster and more intuitive, those are the main reasons I use it 👍

Sequel pro and beekeeperstudio both are good. Sequel Pro has now a days some crashing as it is not very actively maintained but still one of the best guis I know. Beekeeperstudio is relatively new but they have a good pace and bring up new features quite quick.

There is a fork of Sequel Pro which is actively maintained: github.com/Sequel-Ace/Sequel-Ace

I love DBeaver and that it can generate entity relationship diagrams.

Querious for MySQL, and TablePlus for SQLite. TablePlus supports other databases (including MySQL), but for some reason I just use it for SQLite.

I like Navicat if I don't have to pay for it and TablePlus if I do. Both work with whatever DBMS you are looking to use it with.
