SeekQool

The PostgreSQL client that doesn't suck.

A native macOS app for developers who want to browse, query, and edit their Postgres data without the bloat.

How SeekQool works


Why SeekQool?

You've tried them all. Electron apps that eat 2GB of RAM. Java tools from 2008. Web UIs that feel like swimming through molasses.

SeekQool is different:

  • Native macOS — Built with SwiftUI. Launches instantly. Uses ~50MB of memory.
  • Edit inline — Double-click any cell. Change it. Preview the SQL. Push.
  • Smart queries — Write SELECT email FROM users and still edit the results. We handle the primary keys.
  • Stay connected — Laptop sleep? Network blip? SeekQool reconnects automatically.
  • Remember everything — Your tabs, queries, and sort orders persist across sessions.

Features

Browse Tables

Click a table. See the data. Sort by any column. Paginate through millions of rows.

Table Browser

Edit Anything

Double-click a cell to edit. Right-click to set NULL. See exactly what SQL will run before you commit.

Inline Editing

Query Editor

Write raw SQL. Get results. Edit them too (for simple SELECTs).

Query Editor

SQL Preview

Never push blind. Review every UPDATE statement before it hits your database.
