Postgres (via Postgres.app) is a native macOS application that bundles the PostgreSQL open-source relational database server, letting developers run a full PostgreSQL instance on their Mac without needing to compile from source or manage a complex installation. It provides a menu-bar interface to start, stop, and manage the database server, automatically handles configuration, and includes the command-line tools needed to connect and administer databases. Developers, data analysts, and teams building web applications or data pipelines use Postgres.app for local development and testing before deploying to production systems.

1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of Postgres.app has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. Anyone still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version from the official Postgres.app website to get the native arm64 build, which will improve performance and battery life on M-series Macs. The update is straightforward — simply download and install the new version; your existing databases and configuration will carry over.
