## Best for

Developers who work across Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, DuckDB, ClickHouse, and other databases from one native app.

## Why it deserves attention

Tabularis ships three drivers in the box and 26 more as plugins, covering mainstream relational databases plus DuckDB, ClickHouse, Redis, and Firestore. Its built-in MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, and other agents read schemas and run queries inside the same workspace, and the app runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux with a polished table editor and SQL console. It is Apache-2.0, free, and has more than 5,000 GitHub stars with daily commits. Plugin coverage varies by database, so check your engine before relying on it for production work.
