Beekeeper Studio is BY FAR the most user-friendly DB GUI out there! I started using it a year ago and now our whole team bought a license. The multi-DB support is simply awesome as I use 4 different types of databases on a regular basis. Plus it works on Windows and Mac.

Our efficiency for managing our SQL code is a 2-3x improvement using Beekeeper compared to before.


I'm not sure I know what we would be doing without Beekeeper, probably coming up with file based sharing system with checkout permissions on a SharePoint which would be amazingly painful.

Beekeeper Studio offers a clean, modern and minimalist GUI. By far the most beautiful, combined with speed and intuitive interface. I did migrate from databricks to SQLite Studio due to a new project and beekeeper allows me to have a premium db management tool even with small projects.

I use this tool a lot as it has a very simple interface useful for screen sharing and quickly inspecting the database but doesn't keep any power tools away from you. I can also use this with multiple database types so it's a no brainer to keep using it. Thank you for a great product!

I've just started using Beekeeper Studio and it's excellent. I've been looking for a SSMS-like clean interface for database work against AWS RedShift, and this is easily the best client I've found. ... just waiting for (a) saved workspaces, and (b) source control [git] integration ;p

Ease of use, clean interface, fast responce, reliable operation. No migration from another tool. The Download function as CSV saves time and generates well formed CSV, which can easily be imported to a spreadsheet.

As a principal engineer that is always looking for the most efficient way to get something done, I work on a combination of Mac and Linux and the ability to have feature parity and the same application on both platforms is outstanding. We were an early adopter of DuckDB and it's fantastic to have it supported now.

The sheer speed alone is enough to make Beekeeper one of the best DB GUI but it's also friendly and really useful.

I have several favorite features: the possibility to connect through SSH, the saved queries, the TAB's to hold several queries and table outputs and the right-click "SQL: create" feature. Would be nice if this could be expanded to more items, like triggers. When still stuck to MS Windows (now a great Linux fan, dumping anything Microsoft like a brick!) I used MySQL Workbench but Beekeeper is a perfect alternative and at least on Linux much easier to install and a lot more universal in respect to connecting to databases. I don´t know how much time I save by using Beekeeper Studio, I never recorded it, but I know it is highly intuitive and therefore quite easy to use, which probably saves time, at least learning to use it.

When I switched to using Linux full time from Mac, the hardest thing was finding replacement apps for things I used daily. Most tools were pretty easy to find replacements for, but MySQL clients were either super old and clunky or just too simple. Beekeeper has been a breath of fresh air, and not only works on Linux, but feels like a first class citizen! They're constantly making improvements and updating the app based on real world feedback. This is hands down my nicest app I used in my Dev stack at the moment and recommend it whole heartedly!

Used to use MySQL Workbench but it was so clunky and intimidating. Switched to Beekeeper and never went back. Databases are not my strong suit but Beekeeper helps eliminate friction, is easy to use, and makes me feel capable to do what I need to do.
