TablePlus VS Rectangle

It was oddly hard to find a DB editor, I needed something as slick as ArcType -- a feature packed DB editor that is recently shut down. Ideally, it would have been a vscode extension like Docker/Kubernets so I could stay in my IDE but failing to find a good looking one there, I opted to find an application.

Tried, Azure Data Studio and DBVis.com but finally happy with TablePlus. It is a freemium model but i'm okay with two windows and two tabs.

I'm using Table Plus to connect to the RDS Postgres database, you could use any Postgres Client.

This is great, especially to introduce new devs to models. I use (and love) TablePlus (https://tableplus.com/) which has a diagram generator plugin that does the same!

Tools like TablePlus, DBeaver, or HeidiSQL provide visual query building interfaces. While not performance analysis tools per se, they can help you build and understand complex queries more easily.

TablePlus first greeted the world in 2017 and is the newest addition to the list. The UI is simple and sleek without any redundant modules, making it quick and easy to get started with.

TablePlus (https://tableplus.com/) is my current goto - even has a nice iOS app for on the run queries. I have fond memories of Sequel Pro and this app scratches that itch.

Starting in 2017, TablePlus is the newbie on the list, and its modern and simple UI reflects it. It supports most relational databases and some NoSQL ones. When they just started, they only supported macOS, but it is now available on Windows, Linux, and iOS (!). It is not open-source, but the roadmap is open and anyone can open an issue on their GitHub Issue Tracker. TablePlus has two plans: a free tier (has no limit on trial time) and a paid subscription model (license) with extended features.

DBngin also happens to be made by the company behind my favorite database GUI tool, TablePlus. If you use TablePlus, you can click on the arrow next to the "Start/Stop" button and open the database right in TablePlus.

Rectangle’s installation is incredibly straightforward. Its immediate out-of-the-box functionality was a pleasant surprise. For anyone seeking to reduce the friction of window management on their Mac, Rectangle is a solution I wholeheartedly recommend.

Tip: I use Rectangle app to set up keyboard shortcuts to resize windows (I only have three shortcuts there: left/right half of the screen and full screen).

But Raycast also has some functionality in that direction.

Two more little utilities that I cannot live without on Mac:

A tiling window manager like https://rectangleapp.com/

Muzzle, which automatically silences desktop notifs when you're screensharing https://muzzleapp.com/

I suggest using Rectangle instead of Magnet; it has the same features but is free. I don't know what other Windows features you want to have.

I’ve used this app forever. Adds in all the window snapping features.

third-party window management apps like Magnet and Rectangle

Rectangle Mac - Move and resize windows in macOS using keyboard shortcuts or snap areas, similar to Windows.

I was a Spectacle user for years, but I recently switched to using Rectangle for window management. Rectangle has a few more options than Spectacle; I’m still getting used to it but I have no strong feelings either way.
