Navicat for MariaDB is a Databases app for Mac.

About

Navicat for MariaDB is a graphical database management and development application focused on MariaDB. Its interface brings database objects, records, and SQL work into a desktop environment, with tools for administering and working with databases.

Notable capabilities include:

  • Design and modify database objects such as tables, views, functions, procedures, and events using visual object designers.
  • Browse and edit table records in a grid, with sorting, searching, and foreign-key-based lookup selection.
  • Build and edit SQL queries with a visual SQL Builder, or use the SQL editor’s code-completion suggestions.
  • Work with data migration, modeling, business intelligence, and data transfer tools.

To install the macOS application with Homebrew, run brew install --cask navicat-for-mariadb. The cask installs Navicat for MariaDB.app in /Applications. Launch the app and use its interface to work with MariaDB databases. The official product page also describes secure SSH tunneling and HTTP tunneling for database connections.

This cask is for Navicat for MariaDB specifically; it does not install the separate Navicat products listed on the vendor’s site.
