Zero LeakExplore the exact interfaces and tools built into BerryDB.
Unlike web-view based clients that freeze when fetching large datasets, BerryDB utilizes pure AppKit NSTableView view reuse. Load 1,000,000 rows with instantaneous sorting, filtering, inline editing, and binary image inspection.
Built strictly with Swift 6 and AppKit — zero Electron bloat, zero background memory hogging.
Every query executes in an isolated Actor thread. Heavy analytical queries never freeze your UI or block query editor typing.
Accidentally ran a heavy Cartesian join? Stop it immediately using native pg_cancel_backend and MySQL KILL QUERY sockets without disconnecting your session.
No Chromium rendering engine, no embedded Node.js runtimes. Keep dozens of database connections open without draining your MacBook's battery.
Passwords, connection URLs, and SSH keys are encrypted with hardware-level security via the Apple Keychain Enclave. Zero plain-text config files.
Type-ahead completions for schemas, tables, columns, aliases, and SQL keywords. Auto-formatting with 1-click customizable dialect rules.
Cryptographically signed with Ed25519 signatures. Get new database drivers and performance patches with a 1-click background restart.
