Optimized for fast thumb input, uncompromising on professional features. ▸ PRIVACY Your server credentials stay exclusively on your device. No cloud, no tracking, no ads. MagicSQL talks directly to your servers — nothing goes through third parties. ▸ SETTINGS Adapt to your workflow: connection timeout, keep-alive, auto-reconnect, default row limit, text size, NULL highlighting, syntax highlighting, query history, destructive-action confirmation — everything is respected.
