Built by developers, for developers. We created this app because we faced a common problem: receiving an urgent alert while out of the office—on vacation or at dinner—without a laptop nearby. We needed a way to quickly check the database, run a diagnostic query, or fix a record using just a phone. We built this tool for our own use, but realized other developers might need it too. This isn't a bloated enterprise suite. It is a straightforward, secure, and comfortable tool to manage your PostgreSQL databases when you are away from your workstation. Core Functionality: * Emergency Access: Connect to your database from anywhere (supports SSL). * CRUD Operations: Select, Insert, Update, and Delete rows via a visual interface. * Custom SQL: Write and execute complex queries. * Data Export: Export your query results to CSV or JSON to share or analyze. * Table Inspector: Browse schemas, views, and tables with pagination. Security & Privacy: * 100% Local: We do not have a backend. Your data never touches our servers. * Encrypted Credentials: All passwords are stored using the device’s native secure storage (Keychain on iOS). * Direct Connection: The app connects directly from your device to your PostgreSQL server.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PostgreSQL Visual Manager at 5.0 against PostX's 3.0. PostgreSQL Visual Manager also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). PostX's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and chart position (#161 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
