Manage your databases on the go — like a pro. MagicSQL is the first mobile SQL client that brings together MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, MariaDB and SQLite with SSH tunneling, a full-featured editor and a multi-tab interface. Not a stripped-down viewer — a real professional tool for your phone and tablet. ▸ FIVE DATABASES, ONE INTERFACE MySQL · MariaDB · PostgreSQL · MS SQL Server · SQLite Switch between servers without leaving the app. ▸ CONNECT SECURELY - SSH tunneling with password OR private key - SSL/TLS encryption - Live status: green dot + ping time in ms show instantly which servers are reachable - Connection test with clear diagnostics: SSH, DB, or network errors are reported separately ▸ MULTI-TAB DATA BROWSER - Open multiple tables simultaneously in tabs — like on the desktop - Split View: compare two tables side by side - Inline cell editing with double-tap - Column filters, full-text search, pagination - Duplicate, delete, or export rows as JSON - Column sorting and adjustable column widths ▸ PRO SQL EDITOR - Syntax highlighting for keywords, strings, numbers, comments - Context-aware autocomplete (knows your tables and columns) - Live error detection with wavy-underline markers - Snippet toolbar for common statements - Query history with copy & re-run ▸ TABLE DESIGNER WITHOUT SQL Create tables visually with every professional property included: - Primary key, Auto-Increment, Unique - UNSIGNED for numeric types (MySQL) - ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP for updated_at columns - Default value with quick picks: NULL, NOW(), 0, '', UUID() - Comment, charset, collation, engine ▸ VIEWS, FUNCTIONS AND TRIGGERS Beginner-friendly builders with templates, or full SQL code control. Create views, stored functions and triggers without spending hours in the docs. ▸ USER MANAGEMENT Create MySQL users and assign privileges through three clear tabs: Account, Privileges, Password. ▸ AUTO-RECONNECT App went to background? No problem. MagicSQL keeps the connection alive with keep-alive pings and reconnects automatically when needed — no data loss, no need to re-enter anything. ▸ DARK THEME, CODING FONT Eye-friendly design with a professional monospaced font built for code. No distracting animations, no ads, no tracking — just tools that work. ▸ WHAT MAKES MAGICSQL DIFFERENT? Other mobile SQL apps often just display data. MagicSQL is a real mobile IDE: SSH tunneling for secure remote connections, multiple tables in tabs at once, an editor with live assistance, a visual designer — and all of it for five database systems. 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. For developers, DBAs, DevOps and anyone who wants their databases under control everywhere. Download MagicSQL and work like a pro — from your couch, on the train, or in the server room.

About

Schema Studio

Read full description

Build tables, see their relationships, and export DDL and documentation. Schema Studio brings database design to iPhone and iPad. • Copy an existing table as the starting point for a new one. Fields, constraints, and indexes carry over; edit the name before saving. • Sort your table list by creation order, table name, or display name, with ascending and descending options. • Set data types, required fields, primary keys, uniqueness, and automatic numbering. • Design composite indexes with per-column sort directions. • Create relationships and inspect an interactive ER diagram. • Review generated SQL in a syntax-highlighted preview. • Save or share SQL plus Excel, PDF, Markdown, and HTML documentation. Generate for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, and IBM Db2. Choose the interface and documentation languages independently from 15 supported languages. No account, ads, tracking, or cloud service is required. Designs stay on your device unless you explicitly save or share exported files. Table copies do not include relationships. Schema Studio is a design and DDL generation tool; it does not connect to database servers or execute SQL.

The call
