DataGrip offers schema-aware completion and schema comparison, but it is a paid subscription with no free tier and no NoSQL focus.
DbGate
One database client for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, SQLite, Redis and a dozen more, on desktop or as a web app.
DbGate is open source under GPL-3.0 and covers SQL and NoSQL in its free build, with a web option, though it runs on Electron.

SQuirreL SQL
