About

Navicat Premium is a graphical application for database development and administration. The supplied Homebrew cask installs the Navicat Premium app for macOS; it is not Navicat Premium Lite or another Navicat product. The official product page describes connections to multiple database types through one application, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, SQLite, Redis, and Snowflake.

Its documented capabilities include:

Designing and managing database structures with visual tools such as Object Designer and Model.
Editing data and composing queries, with query editing and code-assistance features.
Moving data between databases and synchronizing data or database structures.
Handling backup and restore, import and export, and data generation.
Supporting database administration and development through a graphical user interface.

To install this cask, run brew install --cask navicat-premium in Terminal. Homebrew installs Navicat Premium.app in /Applications. The cask conflicts with navicat-premium@15, so those two casks cannot be installed together. The product page lists supported database types, but the available evidence does not establish that every listed database or service is included with the app or available without separate access. See the Navicat Premium product page and Homebrew cask definition.

Uninstall Navicat Premium and optional data cleanup

Uninstall command

brew uninstall --cask navicat-premium

A regular uninstall removes the app and keeps its settings and caches.

Deep clean (optional)

Uninstall command

brew uninstall --zap --cask navicat-premium

--zap also deletes the settings, caches and other files listed in the Homebrew definition. They can include data shared with other apps and cannot be restored, and it does not guarantee that nothing is left. Back up any data you need first. To keep settings and caches, leave out --zap.
