Navicat for MySQL is a Databases app for Mac.

About

Navicat for MySQL is a graphical tool for administering and developing MySQL and MariaDB databases. It brings database-object design, data editing, and SQL work into a visual interface.

  • Design and modify database objects, including tables, views, functions, procedures, and events, using visual object designers.
  • Browse and edit records in a grid with sorting and searching, and use foreign-key relationships to select referenced data.
  • Build queries visually or write SQL in the editor, which offers code-completion suggestions for database objects and SQL keywords.
  • Work with data transfer, import and export, data synchronization, and structure synchronization tools.
  • Establish SSH-tunneled connections with password or public/private key authentication; HTTP tunneling is also available for database connections.

Install with Homebrew Cask using brew install --cask navicat-for-mysql, then open Navicat for MySQL from Applications. This cask installs the macOS application.

The product is designed for MySQL and MariaDB database work; the listed cloud-provider and vendor support includes services based on those databases. Navicat’s website advertises other products and capabilities as well; this entry describes Navicat for MySQL specifically.
