Postico
Postico is a modern database app for your Mac.
What is Postico?
PostgreSQL is an absurdly powerful database, but there's no reason why using it should require an advanced degree in relational theory. Postico provides an easy to use interface, making Postgres more accessible for newcomers and specialists alike. Postico will look familiar to anyone who has used a Mac before. Just connect to a database and begin working with tables and views. Start with the basics and learn about advanced features of PostgreSQL as you go along.

Postico is a bit of hidden gem here on the AlternativeTo listings, and well worth trying if you use a Mac.
I'm a full-time developer, specializing in database work with PostgreSQL. I've used may database management tools for both Mac and Windows, but by far Postico is my all-time favourite.
It doesn't try to do everything, but what it does do, it does very well. It's my daily development tool for PostgreSQL. I cringe when, on the odd occasion, I have to use some other management/config tool.
The product has been very stable, and the developer is responsive to questions and open to requests for enhancements.
This is the fastest, most responsive, user friendly GUI for PostGreSQL I've ever used. If you've ever used Sequel Pro on MacOS, the Postico UI will be very familiar. It doesn't have the richest feature set but if your use case is mainly querying, this app is peerless. My favourite feature is being able to filter tables directly
A very thoughtful approach to the design makes Postico a joy to use. While it doesn't completely replace more comprehensive management/config tools, like Navicat, it covers the most frequently used elements of day-to-day DB development. Support from the developer is excellent as well.
