A native Mac app for MySQL and MariaDB, with an AI co-pilot that writes SQL for you. Explore, query, and edit your MySQL data at native speed.

FluentDB exploring a MySQL database on macOS

FluentDB gives MySQL a fast, native home on the Mac. Connect to your database, browse tables and indexes, and run queries in a polished editor that autocompletes from your live schema. It works with both MySQL and MariaDB, local or remote.

Stop hand-writing every JOIN. Ask FluentDB in plain English and it writes MySQL against your real tables, shows you the query, and explains what it does before anything runs. It is the MySQL client that helps you write the query, not just a blank editor.

AI co-pilot for MySQL

Describe what you need and get MySQL that references your real tables and columns.

Schema-aware SQL editor

Inline data editing

Edit rows in place, insert new ones, and write changes back to MySQL from the grid.

MySQL and MariaDB

Connect to MySQL or MariaDB, self-hosted or managed, with the same native app.

Guardrails for production

Read-only connections and manual approval keep your production database safe.

SSH tunnel and bastion

Built for MySQL, down to the details

FluentDB speaks MySQL natively. Here is some of what that looks like in practice.

MySQL-aware autocomplete
Suggests functions like group_concat, date_format, json_extract, and str_to_date.
Enum and set dropdowns
ENUM and SET columns become dropdowns of their allowed values, with CHECK constraints on MySQL 8 too.
Correct identifier quoting
Backtick quoting that preserves the exact case of your table and column names.
Sensible booleans
tinyint(1) columns are treated as booleans and written as clean 1 or 0 values.
One-click row inserts
Add a new row instantly, even when every column takes its default.
Read-only mode
Flip a connection to read-only to explore production more safely.
Cancel a running query
Stop a long query without dropping your session.
MySQL and MariaDB
The same native Mac client connects to both.
AI-first

A MySQL client born in the AI era

FluentDB does not treat AI as a side feature. It is the starting point. Open your MySQL database and ask in plain words. The app knows your schema and writes MySQL that hits your actual tables, so you skip the boilerplate and get straight to the answer.

Ask anything

From plain English to a chart

Ask a question and watch FluentDB compose the query, execute it on MySQL, and draw the result. Flip between pie, line, and table views on the spot, and understand your data at a glance with no exports.

Browse and edit

Edit MySQL data without friction

A native grid that keeps up with you. Scroll long tables smoothly, tweak cells inline, stage row inserts and deletes safely, and inspect a full row beside the results. Quick, clear, and never in the way.

Refine with AI

Shape any query with AI on hand

The assistant sticks around after the first draft. Tell it to add a condition, swap a join, or unpack what a query does, and it rewrites the MySQL in place. You are one prompt away from a sharper result.

Saved queries

Save the queries you reach for

Typed the SQL yourself or had the AI generate it, either way you can pin it and bring it back in a keystroke. Assemble a set of go-to MySQL queries so you never write the same join twice.
