About
Tabularis Nightly is the nightly desktop edition of Tabularis, an open-source SQL workspace for database work. The supplied Homebrew cask identifies this specific nightly variant; it is distinct from the regular tabularis cask.
- The official site describes a native desktop interface with a Monaco editor, SQL notebooks, schema tools, a visual query builder, visual EXPLAIN, and ER diagrams.
- The site lists PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite as native database options, with additional databases available through plugins.
- A built-in MCP server is described for schema-aware access and queries by AI agents. The site also describes AI assistance through OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or Ollama.
- The official site presents Tabularis as local-first and mentions SSH and Kubernetes tunneling and system-keychain storage for secrets.
Install this cask with brew install --cask tabularis@nightly. The cask supports macOS 12 or later. It conflicts with the regular tabularis cask, so the two cannot be installed together.
