Remarkably complete, open source db interface. I use it daily for remote Postgres DBs, and it's my default app for sqlite DBs on my local machines. Beekeeper has become one of the core apps that's always open on my computer.

It is a young project still, but the developer community around it is active and incredibly responsive.

I like the looks of Beekeeper Studio and wanted to give it a try, but I never could get it to connect to MS SQL Server and docs didn't help so I uninstalled.

It has a great UI and works for a lot of databases. I like the structure of the elements too. Personally, I use MySQL and Postgres databases.

At first it didn't want to connect to the database (SSL was not activated), but everything has been going like clockwork since then. I switched to Beekeeper from Datagrip and I am very satisfied.

Nice looking, screen isn't cluttered with cryptic-looking stuff, isn't overwhelmed with features I don't need/use. My only issue so far is that I can't save queries to files, apparently
