phpMyAdmin alternative

Native database workflows without a browser-bound admin panel.

Vortex brings coding agents, your project conversation and a live preview into one desktop workspace. Its integrated tools help you inspect and improve the app you are building.

When you need MySQL admin tool tools

Use a desktop MySQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL client with inline editing, queries, schema inspection, SSH tunnels and import/export, alongside the API and server tools used to diagnose the application.

  • PHP and Laravel developers.
  • Teams avoiding exposed browser admin panels.
  • Developers who also need SSH and API access.

Go deeper in the same workspace

  • SQL Client
  • SSH Terminal
  • API Client
  • Vault

You can start with an idea in plain language, then open the files, data or terminal when you need more control. Connect your own supported coding-agent account; Vortex does not include provider subscriptions or AI tokens.
