The Java Problem
DBeaver is an incredible engineering feat, supporting every database under the sun. But it's built on Eclipse (Java). This means it's heavy, looks alien on macOS, and drains your battery.
PgNative is featherlight. It launches instantly, uses negligible RAM, and feels like a first-party Apple app.
Feature Paralysis
DBeaver has thousands of buttons, menus, and configuration options. For 1% of tasks, you need them. For the other 99%, they just get in the way.
PgNative focuses on the 99%. We optimized the core workflows: querying, viewing data, and table structure. It's a tool for getting work done, not for configuring a tool.
Declutter your workflow.
A fast, native client that gets out of your way.
