About Antares SQL

Antares SQL is a free, open-source SQL client built with Electron and Vue that puts user experience first. It supports MySQL and MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite and Firebird SQL, with connections over SSH tunnels, multiple connections in tabs, a query editor with autocomplete, saved queries and history, a table editor for structure, indexes and foreign keys, management of views, triggers, routines and scheduled events, and data import and export. Its developer describes it as still in development, with more databases and features planned. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, including ARM builds, and is distributed through GitHub, the Microsoft Store, Flathub and other channels. It is released under the MIT licence and promises to stay entirely free, with no paid edition. Development activity has slowed since its busiest years, and it supports far fewer databases than DBeaver, but it is a pleasant, no-cost option for common SQL databases.

Best for: Developers who want a modern-looking, completely free SQL client.
