Sequel Pro
Sequel Pro is a free, lightweight database management application for macOS designed to simplify working with MySQL and MariaDB databases. It allows developers, database administrators and web developers to connect to local and remote database servers, browse tables, run queries, edit data and manage databases without command-line tools. The app was originally forked from the abandoned CocoaMySQL project and provides a native Mac interface for MySQL database operations. Sequel Pro has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer actively maintained.

1 suggestionSequel Pro has been discontinued and is no longer maintained by its developer, with version 1.1.2 being the final release. There is no native Apple Silicon build, and the Intel-only version continues to run under Rosetta 2 today but will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028). If you rely on Sequel Pro for MySQL or MariaDB management, you should migrate to an actively maintained alternative before the deadline. Sequel Ace is the spiritual successor to Sequel Pro — it is a free, open-source fork that remains under active development and ships as a native Apple Silicon build. Sequel Ace is a straightforward replacement that supports the same MySQL/MariaDB workflows and can import your existing Sequel Pro connections and preferences. For those seeking a more modern interface or extended database support beyond MySQL, consider DBeaver Community (free, open-source, native Apple Silicon support) or TablePlus (commercial, polished, native Apple Silicon).
