About DBngin

DBngin is a database version management tool from the TablePlus team. It runs PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Redis and other database servers natively on your machine, without Docker or a virtual machine, and starts each one with a single click.

You can set up several servers side by side, each with its own version and port, which suits developers who need to match different projects. It runs on macOS 10.13 or later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel, and on Windows.

Strengths

  • One-click start for local database servers
  • Runs natively without Docker or a virtual machine
  • Multiple versions and ports side by side
  • Native builds for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs

Limitations

  • Closed source
  • No Linux version
  • Manages servers only; pair it with a client for queries

Alternatives to DBngin

Compare all

Software that can replace DBngin for an important use case, and what changes if you switch.

  • Postgres.app

    A full PostgreSQL server packaged as a native Mac app with a menu bar item.

    Postgres.app is open source but runs only on macOS and only provides PostgreSQL, bundling PostGIS and command-line tools, with no MySQL, MariaDB or Redis servers.

  • PostgreSQL

    The open-source relational database with 35 years behind it, known for correctness, extensibility and a long feature list.

    PostgreSQL installed directly gives you the open-source server itself on Windows, macOS or Linux, without DBngin's one-click start or side-by-side version management.
