saferowSwitching · TablePlus
Switching from TablePlus.
Your TablePlus connections come over, with their SSH settings. Passwords stay in TablePlus: you type each one once, and it goes to your Keychain.
Three steps
- Install saferow from the download page. The free tier needs no account and no license.
- Choose File › Import from Sequel Ace, TablePlus or TablePro… Your TablePlus connections are listed first. Press Set up on one.
- Connect once. saferow checks every step, from SSH to Safe reads, and saves the connection only when it works. If a step fails, it says which and how to fix it.
What comes over
- Every MySQL, MariaDB, Postgres and SQLite connection: engine, host, port, user, database and the SQLite file’s path.
- SSH settings: host, user and port.
- Your
~/.ssh/confighosts, folded into servers. - Passwords from a local Docker database, read from the container’s settings, if that is where it runs.
What doesn’t
- Passwords and SSH key files: choose the key and type the password once; both stay in your Keychain.
- Connections to Redis, MongoDB and the other engines saferow doesn’t cover.
- Saved queries, colours, groups and tags.
- Environment labels: saferow guesses which connections are production and asks you.
What’s different day to day
- An agent that reads, charts and proposes, with every change counted and held for you.
- Rewind after a commit, from restore points saved before each write.
- Pending grid edits work as in TablePlus: staged, reviewed, then saved with ⌘S.
Nothing in TablePlus is changed: saferow reads its list and leaves it as it was. saferow and TablePlus, compared.
