If you’re looking for a modern, clean, and performant Redshift client, give Beekeeper Studio a try.

Tried a few tools. Beekeeper was the only one that I found that felt right. Most had a very 1990's feel to them - Allan
I built Beekeeper Studio because, like Allan, I wanted something more intuitive and modern than all the existing clunky apps I could find. My customers agree - they love using Beekeeper and they tell me every day! Give it a try, I bet you'll like it too.
What’s Redshift?
You don’t know? Ok, here’s the low-down. Redshift is Amazon’s super performant, horizontally scalable analytics database. It doesn’t work like a traditional database, and it’s not suitable for the type of stuff you’d use MySQL or Postgres for, but it’s AMAZING for analytics queries - aggregates, full table scans, that type of thing.
Why use Beekeeper Studio for Redshift?
Firstly, it’s free. But not free in a sketchy ad-supported freemium way. Beekeeper Studio is 100% MIT open source, and we are committed to providing a privacy-respecting, full featured SQL client for years to come.
Sometimes it’s the little things, like when you paste a Redshift endpoint url into Beekeeper Studio we automatically parse out the host, port, and database name:
Still not convinced? Hmm…. well here is a super compelling list of features and a few gorgeous screenshots to tip the scales.
