Postgres & Friends
Read full descriptionHide full description
Postgres & Friends is a database client for iPhone and iPad. Connect to the databases you already run, browse what is inside them, and run the query you need — without opening a laptop. SIX ENGINES, ONE APP • PostgreSQL • MySQL • SQLite — open a database file straight from the Files app • Redis • MongoDB • Cloudflare D1 — over Cloudflare's REST API BROWSE YOUR DATA Move from connection to database to table, and page through rows without dragging the whole table down the wire. Search inside a result set, tap any row to read long values in full, or switch to the structure view when you need column types and keys. WRITE REAL SQL A proper editor with syntax highlighting, not a single-line text box. Every statement you run is kept in a local query history, and the ones worth reusing can be saved. A built-in, filterable cheat sheet sits one tap away for the syntax nobody memorises on a phone keyboard. REACH PRIVATE DATABASES Most databases worth connecting to are not open to the internet. Tunnel through a bastion host over SSH, using either a password or an OpenSSH private key. SHARE THE ANSWER Export the rows you are looking at as CSV and send them straight from the iOS share sheet. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS There is no account to create and no server of ours in the path between the app and your database. Passwords and SSH keys are stored in the iOS Keychain; saved connections, query history, and saved queries live in the app's own sandbox on your device. No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking SDKs. FREE AND PRO Free includes up to three saved connections, table browsing, SQL execution, query history, and SSH tunnels across every supported engine. Pro removes the connection and tab limits and adds the full SQL editor, CSV export and sharing, and light and accent themes. It is available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase — all three unlock exactly the same features.

Bellow is an ear prompter, not a screen prompter. Instead of a scrolling script pulling your eyes off the lens, Bellow speaks your script into your earbuds one line at a time, so you repeat it a beat behind while looking straight into the camera the whole time. Use it as an earbud teleprompter for video, or to memorize lines for an audition, a monologue or a talk. HOW IT WORKS Write or paste your script, hit start, and Bellow reads each line into your ear. Tap through at your own pace, or switch on auto-pace and let it advance on its own timing. No screen to glance at, no eyes darting off camera. FREE FOR 7 DAYS, THEN ONE PRICE Every script and every feature is unlocked for your first 7 days. No account, no payment info. After the trial, a one-time $9.99 unlock keeps everything: unlimited saved scripts and auto-pace mode. It is not a subscription. If you choose not to unlock, your scripts stay on your phone and you can still copy their text. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your scripts stay on your device and never leave your phone. No microphone, ever: Bellow only speaks, it never listens. If you choose to give your email address for updates, that is the only thing we receive.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Bellow at every 6 days against Postgres & Friends's every 3 weeks. Bellow also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
