Forge Database Manager

Stop paying for four tools. Forge opens SQL servers, cloud warehouses, NoSQL clusters, federated query engines, file dumps, and key/value stores in one native app — no Electron, no subscriptions.

Built with SwiftUI for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. One purchase, every Apple device.

NINETEEN DATABASE ENGINES
• PostgreSQL family — Postgres, CockroachDB, TimescaleDB, Amazon Redshift
• MySQL family — MySQL, MariaDB
• SQLite, libSQL, Turso (remote libSQL over Hrana HTTPS)
• Microsoft SQL Server, Azure SQL — pure Swift TDS, no driver
• Oracle — pure Swift, no Instant Client
• Snowflake — SQL API v2, key-pair JWT auth
• Google BigQuery — service account JWT
• Trino / Presto — federated queries
• Apache Cassandra, ScyllaDB
• DuckDB — embedded analytics over Parquet, CSV, JSON
• Redis — browse keys by type as tables
• ClickHouse — analytics via native HTTP
• Elasticsearch — indexes as SQL tables

THREE FILE FORMATS AS DATABASES
• CSV — auto-detected separators, quoted fields, duplicate headers handled
• JSON, NDJSON, JSON Lines — arrays and streaming
• SQL Dump — open mysqldump or pg_dump files and browse without executing a statement

DRY RESTORE — UNIQUE TO FORGE
Inspect any SQL dump as if it were a live database. Browse a 400 MB backup in seconds. No risk, no server, no restore.

AI BRIDGE — UNIQUE TO FORGE
Run a local MCP server that exposes your databases as tools to Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible assistant. List tables, inspect schemas, run queries — in plain English, on every supported engine. Read-only by default. Credentials never leave your Mac.

LIVE DATA WITH DIFF HIGHLIGHT
Toggle auto-refresh on any table to watch data change in real time. New rows light up green, changed cells light up yellow. Pauses automatically when you're editing.

EDIT IN PLACE
Double-click a cell to edit. Save many cells across rows in one transaction. Schema-aware INSERT and DELETE. Import CSV/JSON straight into a SQL table. Every SQL engine, Oracle included.

QUERY EDITOR
Syntax highlighting and context-aware autocomplete — keywords, table names, column names. SQL formatter and Find & Replace built in. Reusable queries with {{var}} placeholders. Snippet library: type `:name` and the template inserts.

SMART DATA GRID
Sort, filter, and export results as CSV, JSON, or SQL INSERT — on every engine.

SCHEMA COMPARE
Diff tables and columns between two connections. Catch drift before it bites in production.

UNIVERSAL BACKUP
Scheduled backups for every engine: SQL dump for SQL, JSON for Redis. Cron expressions, retention, gzip. Runs in the background.

SSH TUNNEL
Reach databases behind a bastion host. Password or private-key auth (ed25519, RSA, with passphrase). Pure Swift, no openssh dependency.

PORTABLE & SECURE
Export connections as a single encrypted bundle (ChaCha20-Poly1305 + PBKDF2-SHA256), import elsewhere with a passphrase. Drag a .sqlite/.csv/.json/.sql.gz file onto the sidebar to open it. Passwords in Apple Keychain. SSL/TLS for remote connections. No telemetry, no cloud dependency.

SMALL & FAST
Around 50 MB installed on iPhone, even smaller on Mac. Native Swift code, no Electron runtime, instant cold start.

NATIVE APPLE
Spotlight indexes your saved queries and connections — search them from anywhere on macOS or iOS. Run saved queries with Siri or the Shortcuts app. Keyboard shortcuts everywhere. Multi-window on Mac with shared engine cache.

Twenty-two data sources. One app. Zero Electron.
