If you are reading this perhaps you are looking for a cracked version of Navicat Premium. That’s your call, but we just have one thing to warn you about it.

It’s about your database security.

You are using Navicat as a GUI tool to connect to your database, whether it’s a test or a production server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, or SQL Server, it’s still a database.

First off, if your database is not among the most important assets to protect, I don’t know what else it can be. Put aside the ethics of stealing intellectual property, there will be two serious problems with using Navicat crack that get you in trouble:

  • The app might stop working anytime, leads to your work being interrupted.
  • You lost your database credentials.
  • You lost your database.

How it’s going to happen?

If you are not using the original copy from the app publishers, someone already broke a certain part of the app and inject their code into it. Who can be sure that the broken part is not something harmful?

It’s like you are dealing with a thief, which you receive a gift from him and in exchange for your house’s key. Would you trust him?

To be more specific, when you start a connection to your database, you first have to enter the database credentials, right? Let’s say you enter it correctly and connect successfully, then you might not be aware of something suspicious behind the scene. What if the hacker injected a small script that simultaneously sends your database credentials to a secret server without your consent?

That’s where troubles come. Someone else might take control over the system, and modify the data, leak it out, or delete the entire database. Who to blame for now?

You will lose everything.

So don’t do that. Don’t look for a cracked version of Navicat. It nice if you can afford to buy it (it’s a bit pricey, to be honest), if not, find another alternative which is cheaper, or free.

There’s something better to choose from

Why don’t you use TablePlus instead? It’s a powerful yet free native GUI tool for multiple relational databases.

  • It’s native. Therefore, it’s fast, light, and reliable. Navicat might take 5 - 7 seconds to startup but TablePlus only takes half a second.
  • It’s intuitive. You see it and you know it.
  • It supports multiple databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server, Oracle, Redshift, Redis, Cassandra, and more.
  • It’s free. Anyone can be able to download and use it forever. New updates every week for free too.

TablePlus also takes care of your database security well. We don’t store any of our user’s data on our server or under an account-based control. It’s on your computer and always be there. TablePlus also includes some of the best security practices such as native SSH, TLS to protect your database.

We also have an upgrade version with unlimited access, but never mind if you don’t use it heavily like a superuser. The free version has pretty much everything needed already. If you can buy a license to support our development, that’s great. But if you can’t, that’s ok too.
