SQL Server on macOS

The SQL Server client for Mac

A native Mac app for Microsoft SQL Server, with an AI co-pilot that writes T-SQL for you. No Windows, no VM, no SSMS.

FluentDB exploring a SQL Server database on macOS

SQL Server Management Studio only runs on Windows, which leaves Mac users juggling virtual machines and remote desktops. FluentDB is a native SQL Server client that runs right on your Mac, so you can connect to Microsoft SQL Server, browse your schema, and edit data without leaving macOS.

Ask in plain English and FluentDB writes T-SQL against your real schema, shows you the query, and explains it before it runs. It is the Mac SQL Server client that helps you write the query, with an interface that feels at home on your Mac instead of ported from Windows.

Refine T-SQL with AI whenever you need

The assistant stays with you past the first draft. Ask it to add a filter, rework a join, or explain a query, and it rewrites the T-SQL in place. Keep iterating until the result is exactly what you need.
