Cloud Workspaces

Sync your connections and saved queries across devices, then share them with your whole team in a shared team folder. Everyone stays up to date, and onboarding a new teammate takes minutes, not days.

The cloud workspace feature that lets me save my connections in different ‘Teams’ is actually huge and something almost no competitor has.

Guys, WOW,

I have been using the AI to interact with my database today and I am thoroughly impressed.

I am genuinely curious about how you managed to make it generate queries so quickly and accurately.

Ive been asking some pretty complex questions but still, all my inquiries got a response. Freaking dope

Dave Liotta Dave Liotta Founder & Developer, Shift Six Labs, Inc.

We’ve used a ton of database IDE’s over the years. To have this consistent, clean and elegant interface in any operating system saves time and money throughout the development process. Highly recommend you give a try.

Sasha

I use this BD client every day, and it’s been a great experience. The user interface is sleek and easy to navigate, and the performance is top-notch—everything runs smoothly without any hitches. The best part, however, is the excellent support team that’s always quick to resolve any issues. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient BD client!

Harsh Chandra Stonewave Technologies

I was looking for easy interface alternative for TablePlus and I ended up in finding BeeKeeper. Its awesome lightweight and full of features. Loved it!!

Tim I CTO

I just love this tool and instantly brought the pro version after trying it. Fast, multi platform as I use Mac and Linux. Supports various different dbs. And is open source and more importantly cares about what its users want and not some management

Tagser Programmer in training(No title or employment)

I never truly understood how model design works until I started using this to query and view database! I am grateful for this in my journey. I recommend it for someone learning Django + sqlite since that is only what I have used it for so far.

Matt K

Beekeeper Studio is BY FAR the most user-friendly DB GUI out there! I started using it a year ago and now our whole team bought a license. The multi-DB support is simply awesome as I use 4 different types of databases on a regular basis. Plus it works on Windows and Mac.

Mario

I’ve used many different DB clients over the past 10 years but they were all lacking in some regard so I gave a Beekeeper a try and I immediately knew that this is the one. Beekeeper is so much better than any other client that its not even close. Clean and modern UI, fast, intuitive. It has made my development a lot easier and faster.

Mike Wiles

Being a Linux user, you get your selection of DB client tools like DB Visualizer with cutting edge UI / UX experiences fresh from ’90s built on Java. With Beekeeper Studio, Linux is a first class citizen with a native app that is beautiful, lightweight, full featured and fast. Best DB tool on Linux by a country mile.

Stephane Rossan

I’m new to database management. Having a tool like BeeKeeper Studio is very helpful to me, as I’m learning on how to use this tool. I used other software in the past. They were not as flexible as this one, and sometimes, there was no mac version.
I found the tool very well designed and easy to use.

dfurmans Scala Dev

Migrated from dbeaver. Mainly due to simple and intuitive GUI interface. Such a simple and powerfull tool.

Lucien COO Cloudsecure

Beautiful, fast, clean, logical.

Alex M

Fabulous tool, the most practical IDE I’ve found to date for Postgres and MySql db admin - it just works, no fuss :-)

Jeff Richter VP Information Technology, Claridge Products

Our efficiency for managing our SQL code is a 2-3x improvement using Beekeeper compared to before.

I’m not sure I know what we would be doing without Beekeeper, probably coming up with file based sharing system with checkout permissions on a SharePoint which would be amazingly painful.

Jay Simons Jay Simons Owner, Designly.biz

Unlike pgAdmin, Beekeeper is remarkably simple to use yet not lacking in features–and the price is right! The database backup feature is particularly useful. Just great software.

Vicky

Switched from DBeaver - absolutely in love with Beekeeper Studio’s zen-like interface! The multi-tab workflow and quick table editing save me hours weekly. It’s the SQL client that sparks joy while managing databases 🐝✨

Justin Justin ST Courier Pvt ltd

this is awesome and very useful to me 😎🔥🔥

Beekeeper Beekeeper Still a Newbie

I chose this program after years of using phpMyAdmin—it feels like stepping into a world of higher quality; here, I truly felt that the user is genuinely cared for. The concept itself, the implementation, the practical experience—I am sincerely grateful to Matthew for all of it.

Alex Badyan

Beekeeper studio is by far the best free tool I’ve used for db navigation. It handles querying and DDL exploration with ease, and the whole experience is just a breeze.
