MobileDB is a native PostgreSQL client for iPhone and Apple Watch. Connect straight to any Postgres database — over TLS or an in-app SSH tunnel — and browse, query, chart and edit your data from anywhere. Ask questions in plain English and get answers. No backend, no account: credentials stay in the iOS Keychain and data travels only between your device and your servers. TRY IT INSTANTLY • Tap "Try the Demo" for a built-in sample database — no account, server or setup CONNECT YOUR WAY • Paste a connection URL from Supabase, Neon, Railway, Render, Heroku or AWS • Passwords and SSH keys secured in the Keychain • TLS (require, verify, self-signed) and built-in SSH tunneling with host-key pinning BROWSE • Schema → table → row navigation with search • Schema Map: every table and foreign key in an interactive diagram • Data grid with sorting, filters and foreign-key jumps • JSON/JSONB values as a collapsible tree ASK AI • Ask "how many users signed up this week?" and get the number, a table or a chart. Queries run read-only and time-limited; anything that changes data is never run automatically • "Hey Siri, ask MobileDB…" — spoken answers on your phone and watch, and in Shortcuts • Build dashboard widgets and new rows from a sentence • Free and private with Apple Intelligence — the on-device model runs on your phone • Or bring your own key for any OpenAI-compatible provider. Only your schema and question are sent — no row data unless you allow it QUERY & EDIT • SQL editor with syntax highlighting and autocomplete • Charts, history, saved queries, CSV/JSON export • Type-aware row editor: insert, update, duplicate and delete by primary key DASHBOARDS • "Build me a dashboard": MobileDB finds users, orders and revenue and proposes cards, each checked against your data • Guided cards (totals, trends, breakdowns) or custom SQL, with trends vs the previous period • Share any card or dashboard as a polished image WIDGETS, ALERTS & WATCH • Dashboard metrics on your Home Screen, Lock Screen and Apple Watch • Daily digest: yesterday's key numbers each morning • Alerts when a metric crosses a threshold or jumps or drops • Live Activities: pin a metric to the Lock Screen; long queries show in the Dynamic Island with a Stop button • Always read-only, and only for connections you allow WORK SAFELY IN PRODUCTION • Tag connections as Development, Staging or Production, with an always-on red banner • Read-only sessions, and a guard before UPDATE/DELETE without WHERE, TRUNCATE, DROP or ALTER • Privacy mode hides emails, phone numbers and names for screen-sharing • Users & permissions: roles, grants, who can write to each table, and RLS policies • Optional Face ID lock Find saved queries, dashboards and tables from Spotlight. MobileDB collects no analytics, shows no ads and has no servers of its own.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MobileDB at none against AppIcon Maker's 1. MobileDB also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 6 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
