Description

Stop paying for four tools. Forge opens SQL servers, cloud warehouses, NoSQL clusters, federated query engines, file dumps, and key/value stores in one native app — no Electron, no subscriptions. Built with SwiftUI for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. One purchase, every Apple device. NINETEEN DATABASE ENGINES • PostgreSQL family — Postgres, CockroachDB, TimescaleDB, Amazon Redshift • MySQL family — MySQL, MariaDB • SQLite, libSQL, Turso (remote libSQL over Hrana HTTPS) • Microsoft SQL Server, Azure SQL — pure Swift TDS, no driver • Oracle — pure Swift, no Instant Client • Snowflake — SQL API v2, key-pair JWT auth • Google BigQuery — service account JWT • Trino / Presto — federated queries • Apache Cassandra, ScyllaDB • DuckDB — embedded analytics over Parquet, CSV, JSON • Redis — browse keys by type as tables • ClickHouse — analytics via native HTTP • Elasticsearch — indexes as SQL tables THREE FILE FORMATS AS DATABASES • CSV — auto-detected separators, quoted fields, duplicate headers handled • JSON, NDJSON, JSON Lines — arrays and streaming • SQL Dump — open mysqldump or pg_dump files and browse without executing a statement DRY RESTORE — UNIQUE TO FORGE Inspect any SQL dump as if it were a live database. Browse a 400 MB backup in seconds. No risk, no server, no restore. AI BRIDGE — UNIQUE TO FORGE Run a local MCP server that exposes your databases as tools to Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible assistant. List tables, inspect schemas, run queries — in plain English, on every supported engine. Read-only by default. Credentials never leave your Mac. LIVE DATA WITH DIFF HIGHLIGHT Toggle auto-refresh on any table to watch data change in real time. New rows light up green, changed cells light up yellow. Pauses automatically when you're editing. EDIT IN PLACE Double-click a cell to edit. Save many cells across rows in one transaction. Schema-aware INSERT and DELETE. Import CSV/JSON straight into a SQL table. Every SQL engine, Oracle included. QUERY EDITOR Syntax highlighting and context-aware autocomplete — keywords, table names, column names. SQL formatter and Find & Replace built in. Reusable queries with {{var}} placeholders. Snippet library: type `:name` and the template inserts. SMART DATA GRID Sort, filter, and export results as CSV, JSON, or SQL INSERT — on every engine. SCHEMA COMPARE Diff tables and columns between two connections. Catch drift before it bites in production. UNIVERSAL BACKUP Scheduled backups for every engine: SQL dump for SQL, JSON for Redis. Cron expressions, retention, gzip. Runs in the background. SSH TUNNEL Reach databases behind a bastion host. Password or private-key auth (ed25519, RSA, with passphrase). Pure Swift, no openssh dependency. PORTABLE & SECURE Export connections as a single encrypted bundle (ChaCha20-Poly1305 + PBKDF2-SHA256), import elsewhere with a passphrase. Drag a .sqlite/.csv/.json/.sql.gz file onto the sidebar to open it. Passwords in Apple Keychain. SSL/TLS for remote connections. No telemetry, no cloud dependency. SMALL & FAST Around 50 MB installed on iPhone, even smaller on Mac. Native Swift code, no Electron runtime, instant cold start. NATIVE APPLE Spotlight indexes your saved queries and connections — search them from anywhere on macOS or iOS. Run saved queries with Siri or the Shortcuts app. Keyboard shortcuts everywhere. Multi-window on Mac with shared engine cache. Twenty-two data sources. One app. Zero Electron.

Version 1.3.4 2026-09-17
Forge 1.3.4 opens your files where they are, gives every statement its own result, and puts the results grid on the keyboard. FILES OPENED IN PLACE A DuckDB, S...Forge 1.3.4 opens your files where they are, gives every statement its own result, and puts the results grid on the keyboard. FILES OPENED IN PLACE A DuckDB, SQLite, CSV, JSON, or SQL dump file you choose is no longer copied into Forge: it opens in place, and a file you move or rename is found again. When a dlt pipeline or a script writes to the same DuckDB or SQLite file, Refresh shows the new data; CSV, JSON, and SQL dump files are read when the connection opens. To write to a SQLite or DuckDB file outside Forge's own folder, allow access to its folder once (the button explains why). Connections created earlier keep their copy until you choose the file again. QUERY EDITOR Several statements separated by semicolons give one result per statement, with a selector above the grid. psql-style parameters :name, :'name', and :"name" work alongside {{name}} (on Oracle, :name stays a server bind variable). The autocomplete popup on Mac no longer replaces the schema you typed before the dot, and a semicolon typed while the popup is open leaves your text intact. Outside ClickHouse, a table or column named settings or format no longer breaks the default LIMIT. RESULTS GRID The selected row keeps keyboard focus: Up/Down, Home/End, and Page Up/Down move the selection, Left/Right pick a cell, Return edits that cell in an editable table, and Escape cancels. Command-C copies the selected row as tab-separated text, or the picked cell. The inspector has a Values pane showing every column of the selected row, in the data browser and in query results. On iPhone, Row Details in the long-press menu shows the same list.
