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.
Each subscription will automatically renew 3 days before the expiration date for
the same time period. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time before the renewal.
