Features
- Autocomplete SQL query editor with syntax highlighting
- Tabbed interface, so you can multitask

- Save queries for later
- Query run-history, so you can find that one query you got working 3 days ago
- Default dark theme
One of our frustrations with other open-source SQL editors and database managers is that they take a 'kitchen sink' approach to features, adding so many features that the UI becomes cluttered and hard to navigate. We wanted a good looking, open source SQL workbench that's powerful, but also easy to use. We couldn't find one, so we created it!
Beekeeper Studio supports connecting to the following databases:
- SQLite
- MySQL
- MariaDB
- Postgres
- SQL Server
- Amazon Redshift

Big Thanks
Beekeeper Studio wouldn't exist without Sqlectron-core, the core database libraries from the (now unmaintained) Sqlectron project. Beekeeper Studio started as an experimental fork of that repository. A big thanks to @maxcnunes and the rest of the Sqlectron community.
