If you're on Mac, another great, albeit not free, Postgres admin app is Postico (https://eggerapps.at/postico/).

Funny experience. we tried to get into postgres.app not realizing they are they same company as Postico. Rather than point out that they weren't interested they just blasted us. Didn't find out till weeks later. Had a good laugh.

Postico doesnt have autocomplete so i haven't tried it but i'm sure it's a fine product.

I'm sorry if my response in January came across as harsh. I really do welcome competition in the PostgreSQL client space -- that's why we have the web page with all the Mac PostgreSQL clients [1] in the first place.

I didn't want to add Postage to that list because it didn't work with Postgres.app when I tried it [2]. If Postage now works properly with Postgres.app, feel free to open a new issue and I'll try it again.

[2]: https://github.com/PostgresApp/PostgresApp/issues/365

I have seen events like this occur with totally different projects on github because issues feels like a message board. A different way of handling it would be to open an issue in the Postage repo, put a link to the Postage issue in the PostgresApp issue and then close the PostgresApp issue.

I like how the Toccis were very proactive and communicating how they were working to resolve the issues but Jakob was right about how Github emails everyone with each comment.

I'm glad it was resolved here on HN.

I use the freeware app PSequel. It's so great!

Another great one for Mac users: https://macpostgresclient.com/

This looks nice too, though!
