If you have worked with MySQL long enough, you definitely heard of Sequel Pro. It was legendary. It’s fast, well designed, and secure. It was the tool of choice for MySQL for a very long period.

More than 10 years ago, Sequel Pro said that it would support PostgreSQL:

We have already chosen a Postgresql framework to use for integrating into Sequel Pro and work has begun. We will announce our progress as we reach more significant milestones.

That day never came.

And we don’t think it’s gonna be here any soon since Sequel Pro is struggling with its support for MySQL. Sequel Pro doesn’t seem to keep up with the development speed of MySQL when it’s reported continuously that Sequel Pro can’t connect to MySQL 8 or it just keeps crashing. Especially when homebrew updated to MySQL 8 and it created a massive #metoo wave within the community. See the issue #2699. People are looking for an alternative to Sequel Pro.
