FluentDB

FluentDB is a native macOS database client with a built-in AI co-pilot. It connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and SQL Server, and lets you ask questions about your data in plain English. The AI writes SQL against your actual schema, shows you the query before it runs, and explains what it does. It's designed for people who want the speed of a native app with the convenience of an AI assistant that understands their database structure.

What makes FluentDB stand out is its approach to AI safety and privacy. The AI reads your schema by default, not your row data, and connections stay in the macOS Keychain. You bring your own model — whether that's an Anthropic or OpenAI key, or a fully local model via Ollama. The SQL editor includes schema-aware autocomplete, formatting, and instant results, and you can switch to AI mode quickly. There's also a fast data grid that handles 100K+ rows smoothly, custom boards to lay out queries as charts, and MCP support so your own AI agents can manage connections.

FluentDB is a one-time purchase ($54) with no subscription, and it comes with a 14-day guarantee: if it hasn't replaced your current client, you get a refund. It's ideal for developers, data analysts, and anyone who works with databases on a Mac and wants to speed up query writing without sacrificing control. The tool is macOS-only and built natively for Apple Silicon, so it's not for Windows or Linux users yet.
