I've used Sequel Pro for years, but the recent lack of updates has made it unstable. It crashes frequently on the latest macOS, especially with large result sets or busy servers. It's a shame, because it was once great and is still free. I've had to switch to a different client for serious work.

As a developer who works with MySQL databases daily, Sequel Pro has been a game-changer for my workflow on macOS. It's incredibly fast, with an intuitive interface that makes table browsing, querying, and structure editing a breeze. The ability to set up quick favorites and SSH connections is seamless, and I've been using it reliably for years. While it's a free, open-source tool, I wish the project had more updates, but its stability and feature set for database management are unmatched. It's the first app I install on any new Mac!

Sequel Pro has been my go-to tool for managing MySQL databases on my Mac for years. It's incredibly intuitive, making tasks like running queries, editing data, and managing tables a breeze. The fact that it's free and open-source is just the cherry on top. It's reliable, fast, and has everything I need for my day-to-day database work.

Sequel Pro has been my go-to MySQL client for yearsβ€”it's incredibly fast and intuitive, making database management a breeze. The interface is clean and straightforward, allowing me to run queries, edit data, and handle backups without any hassle. For a free tool, it offers features that rival paid alternatives, and I've rarely encountered any crashes or performance issues.

Sequel Pro used to be a reliable tool, but it's been completely abandoned for years. It's unstable on macOS Catalina and later, constantly crashing or freezing when handling large queries or connections. The interface is a relic, lacking basic modern features like dark mode and proper syntax highlighting. For a free tool it was good, but now it's just a relic that can't be trusted for serious database work.
