Connect to MySQL and MariaDB from your iPhone and iPad. Run SQL, read your results and browse your schema — your device connects to your server directly, with no Navidog account and no servers of ours in the path. QUERY • A SQL editor with syntax highlighting and MySQL keyword completion • Results in a table you can scroll and search • Query history, per connection • Share query results as CSV (Pro) BROWSE • Databases, tables and views in a searchable list • Page through table data • Column types, keys, defaults and nullability at a glance • Indexes, and the CREATE statement behind any table, view or stored routine CONNECT • MySQL 5.7 and 8.x, MariaDB, and managed database services • TLS, with the certificate handling managed hosts expect • SSH tunnels for servers you reach through a jump host • Paste a mysql:// URI or a connection string and the form fills itself in • Passwords are kept in the system Keychain, and saved connections never hold them in plain text MYSQL REFERENCE A searchable cheat sheet of MySQL syntax — joins, indexes, data types, common statements — for when you are away from your desk. FREE AND PRO The free version includes two saved connections. Pro removes the limit and adds CSV sharing for query results, plus the light theme and the accent colors. Monthly, yearly, or a one-time purchase — and Pro applies to the Mac app too, on the same Apple Account. PRIVACY Database traffic does not pass through our servers. There is no Navidog account to create, no analytics SDK and no crash reporter. SIX LANGUAGES English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, German and French — switched inside the app, no restart. Browsing on iPhone and iPad is read-only for table data; the Mac app adds in-place row editing. Anything you write yourself in the SQL editor runs as you typed it.
