Yes. The free App Store app requires iOS and iPadOS 18 or later and connects to MySQL, MariaDB, TiDB, OceanBase, PostgreSQL, SQLite, DuckDB, Redis, SQL Server and Oracle. It supports queries, SSH tunnels, Safe Mode and Face ID; table browsing and editing depend on the engine.

It has no AI assistant, MCP server or saved queries. See its features and limits.

No. There is no Windows version. A Linux prototype exists, but there is nothing to install and no release date.

Drivers for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Redis, MariaDB, TiDB, OceanBase, Databend, Amazon Redshift, CockroachDB, PGlite and ClickHouse are bundled on the Mac. Others download on first use, require internet access and update independently. TablePro verifies their checksum and code signature.

Yes, where the engine supports them. The Mac app supports SSH keys, passwords, agents and jump hosts, plus TLS certificate verification and external tunnels or proxies. See connection options.

On iPhone and iPad, SSH uses a password or private key. Jump hosts are not supported.

Saved passwords stay in the Keychain. On the Mac, you can instead resolve them from files, environment variables, shell commands, 1Password, Vault or AWS Secrets Manager.

Password sync is a separate opt-in: enable Passwords on the Mac or Sync Passwords on iPhone and iPad. It uses iCloud Keychain.

Yes. The Mac app imports connections and saved passwords from TablePlus, Sequel Ace, DBeaver, DataGrip, Beekeeper Studio and Navicat. Importing is free.

Starter adds Compare & Sync, Query Insights, Result Charts, Data Rewind, iCloud Sync, Linked Folders, Encrypted Export and Environment Variables to the Mac app. Team also adds Team Catalog and Team Library. See paid features for details.

Choose monthly, yearly or one-time billing in US dollars. Team starts at 5 seats. See current prices and totals.

Starter covers one person on up to 2 Macs. Team has 5–200 seats; each seat is one activated Mac. iPhone and iPad use no seat.

To move an activation, remove the old Mac in your account.

Paid features stop: iCloud Sync pauses and shared connections may be hidden. Your local connections, queries and settings remain. Free features keep working; renewing restores paid access.

One-time licenses have no expiry date. iPhone and iPad are unaffected.

Yes, within the offline window. TablePro verifies the signature on launch and checks the server every 7 days. Paid features work for 30 days after the last successful check if the server is unreachable.

It comes with a Team license: emails from Team customers are answered first, within one business day. The terms describe support for every plan.

The Mac app sends a daily usage report by default; disable it in Settings > General > Privacy. It includes a hashed machine ID, app details and database types, never hostnames, usernames, passwords, queries or rows.

License checks run every 7 days and send the key, machine ID, Mac name and app and macOS versions. iPhone and iPad reports are opt-in. Team Library receives settings and saved SQL you publish. See the privacy policy, including IP logging.

No sign-up is needed to use the apps. Buyers manage licenses, Macs and seats in their account, signing in through a link emailed to their purchase address.

No. Requests go directly to your chosen provider, not through TablePro. They include the database type and name, schema and current query by default. Result rows need a separate opt-in. Ollama, llama.cpp and MLX run locally. Providers may charge for use. See AI data handling.

Sync is off by default and uses a private database in your iCloud account, which TablePro cannot read. Passwords require a separate opt-in: Passwords on the Mac or Sync Passwords on iPhone and iPad.

iCloud Sync requires Starter or Team on the Mac and is free on iPhone and iPad.

Enter your purchase email in your account. The emailed link works once and expires shortly. Only buyers sign in to the portal; team members use an invitation code in the Mac app.

Invite teammates by email in your account. They enter the code in Settings > License; each activated Mac takes a seat. Removing a member frees the seat and deletes their published Team Library items. Their Macs lose paid access at the next license check, not immediately.

Change subscription seats in your account; the difference appears on your next invoice. For one-time licenses, email [email protected].

Cancel in your account or Polar’s portal. Access continues through the paid period without another renewal. You can resume before it ends.

If your current client is supported, you can import connections from TablePlus, Sequel Ace, DBeaver, DataGrip, Beekeeper Studio and Navicat, including saved passwords, SSH tunnels and TLS settings.

See comparisons for differences, checked dates and sources, including where another client may fit better.
