Adminer
Adminer
Replace phpMyAdmin with Adminer and you will get a tidier user interface, better support for MySQL features, higher performance and more security. Security is #1 priority in development of Adminer. Adminer does not allow connecting to databases without a password and it rate-limits the connection attempts to protect against brute-force attacks. Still, consider making Adminer inaccessible to public by whitelisting IP addresses allowed to connect to it, password-protecting the access in your web server, enabling security plugins (e.g. to require an OTP) or by customizing the login method. You can also delete Adminer if not needed anymore, it is just one file which is easy to upload in the future. Adminer had some security bugs in the past so update whenever Adminer tells you there is a new version available (ask your administrator if you could not update yourself). Connect to a database server with username and password. /Select an existing database or create a new one. -

pgAdmin
pgAdmin
pgAdmin is a free software project released under the PostgreSQL/Artistic licence. The software is available in source and binary format from the PostgreSQL mirror network. Because compiling from source requires technical knowledge, we recommend installing binary packages whenever possible. pgAdmin is the most popular and feature rich Open Source administration and development platform for PostgreSQL, the most advanced Open Source database in the world. pgAdmin is a management tool for PostgreSQL and derivative relational databases such as EnterpriseDB's EDB Advanced Server. It may be run either as a web or desktop application. As pgAdmin is a web application, it can only interact with the local filesystem in ways that are allowed by modern web browsers. This limits what is possible for security; essentially files can only be "downloaded" or "uploaded" (through a form). -

PSequel
PSequel
PostgreSQL GUI tool for macOS. PSequel provides a clean and simple interface for you to perform common PostgreSQL tasks quickly. pgAdmin is great for its feature-richness. However, its UI is clumsy and complicated. There is a list of PostgreSQL GUI Tools. However, they are either web-based, Java-based or don't support the features some want. In the good old MySQL world, the best client is Sequel Pro, but its support for PostgreSQL doesn't seem to be happening. So, we decided to make one. PSequel is written from scratch in Swift 2, although PSequel's UI is highly inspired by Sequel Pro. PSequel is being developed in our spare time. By supporting macOS 10.10+ only, the codebase can be kept simpler and save time by not testing it in older versions of macOS. And, less code, less bugs. PSequel is still in its early stage. -
