There’s no true SQLyog for Mac but don’t give up too soon.

SQLyog provides a full pack of SQL features since it branded itself as the most powerful MySQL administration tool for DBAs, developers and database architects.

But SQLyog does not come with a Mac version. Or, in other words, your only choice would be using an alternative for SQLyog on Mac.

Then you need to look at TablePlus, a GUI client for MySQL on Mac that:

  • is simple and easy to use.
  • runs fast.
  • has high reliability.
  • is free.
