QueryDeck

QueryDeck is a native macOS database client that auto-detects ORMs and provides schema drift detection.

QueryDeck is a native macOS database client designed to connect instantly to your projects by reading your Drizzle, Prisma, TypeORM, Knex, ActiveRecord, Django, or Sequelize configurations. Built with Swift and AppKit, it runs locally without Electron and exposes your database to AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Cursor via a built-in MCP server. It features SQL notebooks that mix markdown and results, auto-generated ERDs, Touch ID production gating, and a unique Drift Mode to catch schema discrepancies before deployment. You can also create sanitized local PostgreSQL snapshots from production rows to debug issues safely. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and MongoDB with direct connections that keep your data on your machine.
