Postico 1 is a Databases app for Mac.

About

Postico 1 is a graphical client for PostgreSQL databases, packaged as the Postico.app application for macOS. This cask is specifically for Postico 1; it conflicts with the separate postico cask, so the two are not intended to be installed together.

  • Purpose: A GUI client for PostgreSQL databases.
  • Application: Installs Postico.app in /Applications.
  • Platform: The cask requires macOS.
  • Variant: This is the Postico 1 cask, distinct from the unversioned postico cask.

To install it with Homebrew, run brew install --cask postico@1. After installation, open Postico from /Applications or your macOS app launcher. The supplied package information does not detail specific database operations or connection requirements, so consult the product’s official page for further guidance.

Uninstall command
$ brew uninstall --cask \postico@1

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

Deep clean (optional)
$ brew uninstall --zap --cask \postico@1

--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.See which files are removed
