Sequel Ace alternative

A database client for teams working beyond a single engine or tab.

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 SQL client tools

VORTΞXHQ supports MySQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL with content browsing, inline edits, queries, schema tools, relations, routines, diagrams, SSH tunnels and import/export.

  • macOS developers expanding beyond a database-only client.
  • Teams with direct and SSH-tunneled databases.
  • Developers who want one operational workspace.

Go deeper in the same workspace

  • SQL Client
  • SSH Terminal
  • API Client
  • FTP/SFTP

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.
