TablePro

About Copy Chapter

TablePro is what I wanted TablePlus to be: native, fast, open source.

Built with native frameworks on every platform. No Electron, no JDBC, no JavaScript runtime. Cold start under 1 second, idle around 80 MB RAM. Connects to all major SQL and NoSQL databases through native drivers.

AI is built in: chat, inline suggestions, and an MCP server that lets Cursor, Raycast, or Claude Desktop talk to your databases. Bring your own API key, pick your own provider, or run local with Ollama.

Why TablePro Copy Chapter

Native macOS database clients today fall into three groups:

• Single-database, open source: Sequel Ace (MySQL only), Postico (PostgreSQL only). Great if you live in one engine.
• Multi-database, closed source: TablePlus. Polished and native, but proprietary.
• Multi-database, not native: DBeaver (JVM), Beekeeper Studio and DBGate (Electron). Cross-platform, but slow to start and heavy on memory.

TablePro is the missing fourth: native, multi-database, and open source.

Install Copy Chapter

brew install --cask tablepro

Or download from GitHub Releases.

How to Build Copy Chapter

Building TablePro requires macOS 14 or later, Xcode 26 or later, and
XcodeGen.

Run the first-time setup from the repository root:

brew install xcodegen
scripts/download-libs.sh
scripts/generate-project.sh

TablePro.xcodeproj is generated from project.yml and is not in git. Re-run
scripts/generate-project.sh after changing project.yml or Configs/, or after adding a
source file.

Build a Debug app without code signing:

xcodebuild \
  -project TablePro.xcodeproj \
  -scheme TablePro \
  -configuration Debug \
  -skipPackagePluginValidation \
  CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO \
  build

The app is written to ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/TablePro-*/Build/Products/Debug/TablePro.app.

To build and run a signed app, put your Apple team and a unique bundle identifier in Configs/Secrets.xcconfig. See Building with a personal Apple team.
