DBngin is a free native desktop application for managing local database servers, supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and Redis with multiple versions and ports. It runs database engines natively without Docker or virtual machines, and this GitHub repo hosts its issue tracker.

Use cases

• spin up a local postgres server for development
• run multiple mysql versions side by side on different ports
• start a local redis instance with one click
• manage local database servers without docker
• set up throwaway database environments for testing
• bootstrap a local mariadb server on mac

When to choose

• you want zero-dependency local database servers on macOS or Windows
• you need multiple database versions or ports running concurrently
• you prefer native apps over Docker or VMs for local dev databases

When to avoid

• you need a GUI to browse and query data (use TablePlus or similar)
• you need Linux or cloud-hosted database management
• you want containerized, reproducible database environments
