## What it is
Beekeeper Studio is a cross-platform desktop SQL editor and database manager built with Electron, supporting MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server, and many other databases. It offers a spreadsheet-like data browser, visual schema explorer (ERD), SSH tunneling, import/export, and optional AI-assisted SQL, with a free community edition and paid tiers.

## Use cases
- browse and edit postgres data with a gui
- sql client for mysql on windows
- visualize database schema as an erd
- run sqlite queries with autocomplete
- connect to a database through an ssh tunnel
- export query results to csv or json
- manage multiple database connections in one app

## When to choose
- you want a modern, easy-to-use GUI alternative to psql or mysql CLI
- you need one desktop client for many database engines including Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, MongoDB, and ClickHouse
- you want spreadsheet-style data editing, saved queries, and ERD visualization
- you work across Linux, macOS, and Windows with full feature parity

## When to avoid
- you need a fully open-source tool with no paid-feature gating (some features are source-available commercial)
- you need a mobile or web-based client
- you prefer a lightweight CLI or scriptable-only workflow
- you need team cloud workspaces without a paid plan
