Safe Mode

Safe Mode protects a connection from accidental changes by warning you, or asking for the database password, before TablePlus sends queries to the server. You can change the Safe Mode of a connection with the lock icon in the workspace window. See Safe mode.

Option What it does
Unlock Safe Mode with Touch ID Lets you use Touch ID (or your Mac's password) instead of the database password when Safe Mode asks for it.
Default Safe Mode for new connection The Safe Mode that new connections start with.

The choices for Default Safe Mode for new connection are:

  • Silent Mode: send queries to the server without any warnings (default).
  • Alert Mode 1: warn before sending queries to the server.
  • Alert Mode 2: warn before sending queries to the server, except SELECT, EXPLAIN and SHOW queries.
  • Safe Mode 1: prompt for the password before sending queries to the server.
  • Safe Mode 2: prompt for the password before sending queries to the server, except SELECT, EXPLAIN and SHOW queries.

Passcode

With a passcode, TablePlus asks for a master password when it starts, and again after it has been in the background for a while.

Option What it does
Enable Passcode Turns the passcode lock on. TablePlus asks you to create a passcode. To turn it off, you need to enter the current passcode.
Change Passcode… Changes the passcode. Enter the current passcode first.
Unlock Passcode with Touch ID Lets you unlock with Touch ID instead of typing the passcode.
Auto lock if away for How long TablePlus can stay in the background before it locks: 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour or 5 hours.

Crash reports

TablePlus collects crash reports to improve the stability of the app. Reports are anonymous and can't be used to identify you.

To turn crash reports off, go to the General tab and untick Report crashes. The change takes effect the next time you start TablePlus. Turning it off requires a license; it stays on during the free trial.
