## What it is
Sequel Ace is a fast, easy-to-use native macOS application for managing MySQL and MariaDB databases, serving as the successor to Sequel Pro. It supports connecting via saved connections or mysql:// URLs, running queries, and browsing/editing data with a Mac App Store distribution.

## Use cases
- manage mysql databases on mac
- browse and edit mariadb tables with a gui
- run sql queries against mysql from macos
- migrate saved connections from sequel pro
- connect to database via mysql:// url

## When to choose
- you need a native, free MySQL/MariaDB GUI on macOS 13.5+

## When to avoid
