Description

MobileDB is a native PostgreSQL client for iPhone and iPad. Connect straight from your
device to any Postgres database - over TLS or through an in-app SSH tunnel - and browse,
query, and edit your data from anywhere. There is no backend and no account: your
credentials live in the iOS Keychain and your data travels only between your device and
your own servers.

TRY IT INSTANTLY
• Tap "Try the Demo" for a built-in sample database - browse tables and explore live dashboards with no account, no server, and no setup

CONNECT YOUR WAY
• Save multiple connections with passwords and SSH keys secured in the Keychain
• TLS modes: require & verify, allow self-signed, or disable for local networks
• Built-in SSH tunneling (the app does the ssh -L for you) with trust-on-first-use host-key pinning for databases behind a bastion

BROWSE
• Schema → table → row navigation with search
• Structure view: columns, types, primary-key badges, defaults
• Paginated data grid with sorting, sticky column headers, and one-tap refresh
• Tap any cell to inspect and copy the full value
• Filter by a value, or jump along a foreign key to the referenced row

QUERY
• SQL editor with autocomplete (tables, columns, keywords)
• Query history and saved queries
• Export results to CSV or JSON

EDIT
• Type-aware row editor - toggles for booleans, number pads, date pickers, UUID helpers
• Insert, update, and delete keyed on the primary key
• Unsaved-changes guard so you never lose an edit by accident

DASHBOARDS
• Build quick, native dashboards right on your phone - no SQL required
• "Total count" for a big-number metric (e.g. total users)
• "Count over time" - pick a date column and a window (24h to 12 months) for a trend chart
• "Count by category" - a bar chart broken down by any column
• Or write custom SQL and pick how to chart it (number, bar, line, or table)
• Charts render natively with Swift Charts; refresh a whole dashboard with one tap

WORK SAFELY IN PRODUCTION
• Tag a connection as Development, Staging, or Production
• Production shows an always-on red banner so you always know where you are
• Open any connection read-only - the session is read-only and all write UI is hidden
• A destructive-statement guard warns before UPDATE/DELETE without WHERE, and TRUNCATE / DROP / ALTER

Postgres-only today, with an engine-agnostic core so more databases can follow.

MobileDB collects no analytics and shows no ads. It has no servers of its own.
