Overview:

Postico is a modern database app for your Mac.
Postico is the perfect tool for data entry, analytics, and application development.
– connect to Postgres.app
– connect to PostgreSQL 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.4, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6 servers
– connect to cloud services like Heroku Postgres, Amazon Redshift, Amazon RDS
– connect to other RDBMs that use the PostgreSQL protocol, like CockroachDB
Postico is the perfect app for managing your data. It has great tools for data entry. Filter rows that contain a search term, or set up advanced filters with multiple conditions. Quickly view rows from related tables, and save time by editing multiple rows at once.
For analytics workloads, Postico has a powerful query editor with syntax highlighting and many advanced text editing features. Execute multiple queries at once, or execute them one at a time and export results quickly.
For application developers, Postico offers a full featured table designer. Add, rename and remove columns, set default values, and add column constraints (NOT NULL, UNIQUE, CHECK constraints, foreign keys etc.). Document your database by adding comments to every table, view, column, and constraint.
But the best part of Postico is how well it works. Postico is made on a Mac for a Mac. It works great with all your other Mac apps. Use all the usual keyboard shortcuts. Postico gets the basic things like copy/paste just right, and also supports more advanced features like services for text editing.
What's New in Version 1.0.10:

– The 'Open Quickly' now works better across multiple databases. It is also faster, more stable, and has improved ranking of search results.
– Added 'Copy JSON' and 'Copy HTML Table' commands
– Copy INSERT now includes table schema
– Fixed a number of issues where syntax highlighting did not work as expected.
– Fixed an issue where Postico disconnected from the server after an error occurred when using localised error messages
– Add support for deleting and renaming indices in CockroachDB
– Error messages are no longer duplicated in the SQL Query View
– 'Clear Results' command (cmd-K) lets you clear the SQL Query View
– Added a hidden setting to disable restoring the text in the SQL Query View
– Postico now remembers the size & position of the favorites window.
– The bundled version of libpq was updated to version 9.5.4
– Removed bundled libmagic
– Fixed a crash when Postico opens many connections simultaneously (eg. when using the Quick Open command)
– Fixed a crash when displaying error messages on macOS 10.9

Postgres.app is a full-featured PostgreSQL installation packaged as a standard Mac app.It includes everything you need to get started:we've even included popular extensions like PostGIS for geo data and plv8 for JavaScript.

Postgres.app has a beautiful user interface and a convenient menu bar item.You never need to touch the command line to use it – but of course we do include all the necessary command line tools and header files for advanced users.

Postgres.app can install minor updates automatically, so you get bugfixes as soon as possible.

Installing Postgres.app

  • Download ➜ Move to Applications folder ➜ Double Click

    If you don't move Postgres.app to the Applications folder, you will see a warning about an unidentified developer and won't be able to open it.

  • Click 'Initialize' to create a new server

  • Configure your $PATH to use the included command line tools (optional):

Done! You now have a PostgreSQL server running on your Mac with these default settings:

Hostlocalhost
Port5432
Useryour system user name
Databasesame as user
Passwordnone
Connection URLpostgresql://localhost

To connect with psql, double click a database. To connect directly from the command line, type psql. If you'd rather use a graphical client, see below.

NOTE: These instructions assume that you've never installed PostgreSQL on your Mac before.If you have previously installed PostgreSQL using homebrew, MacPorts, the EnterpriseDB installer, consider removing other PostgreSQL installations first.We also have instructions for upgrading from older versions of Postgres.app.

Graphical Clients

Postgres.app includes psql, a versatile command line client for PostgreSQL.But it's not the only option; there are plenty of great graphical clients available for PostgreSQL.Two popular tools are:

pgAdmin 4 is a feature rich open source PostgreSQL client.It has support for almost every feature in PostgreSQL.The only downside is that the cross-plattform UI really doesn't live up to the expectations of a native Mac app.

Postico on the other hand, is a very modern Mac app.It's made by the same people that maintain Postgres.app, and we think you'll like it! We put a lot of effort into making it a joy to use.However, it doesn't have the extensive feature set of pgAdmin, and it's a commercial app rather than open source.

Aside from those two options, there are a lot more to choose from! Check the documentation for a list of amazing Mac apps for PostgreSQL.

How to connect

After your PostgreSQL server is up and running, you'll probably want to connect to it from your application.Here's how to connect to PostgreSQL from popular programming languages and frameworks:

PHP

To connect from PHP, make sure that it supports PostgreSQL. The version included with macOS doesn't support PostgreSQL. We recommend MAMP for an easy way to install a current version of PHP that works.

You can use PDO (object oriented):

Or the pg_connect() functions (procedural):

Python

To connect to a PostgreSQL server with Python, please first install the psycopg2 library:

Django

In your settings.py, add an entry to your DATABASES setting:

Flask

When using the Flask-SQLAlchemy extension you can add to your application code:

SQLAlchemy

For more information see the official PostgreSQL JDBC documentation.

C

libpq is the native C client library for connecting to PostgreSQL. It's really easy to use:

Now compile the file with clang and run it:

Swift

You can just use the C API in Swift! First include libpq in your bridging header:

Then make sure to link with libpq.

On iOS, you'll need to build libpq yourself.

On macOS you can use the system provided libpq (does not support SSL) or use libpq provided by Postgres.app by adding the following build settings:

Other Linker Flags-lpq
Header Search Paths/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/include
Library Search Paths/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/lib

Now you can use the libpq C library to connect to PostgreSQL:

Support

We have a list of common problems in the troubleshooting section in the documentation.

For general questions concerning PostgreSQL, have a look at the official PostgreSQL documentation.

If you have a question concerning Postgres.app that is not answered by the Postgres.app documentation,you can ask @PostgresApp on Twitter, or open an issue on GitHub.

When reporting bugs, let us know which version of Postgres.app & macOS you are using, and be sure to include detailed error messages, even if your issue seems similar to another one.
