Release Notes

The all-new RoboDB. Rebuilt from the ground up as a native app for modern macOS — faster, safer, and with a genuinely helpful AI assistant. This is the successor to RoboDB Classic, and it’s a complete rewrite.

Built new

• Native macOS app. A completely rewritten interface that feels at home on macOS, with a fast, modern SQL editor.
• MySQL & PostgreSQL. First-class support for both engines, including cloud flavours like Amazon RDS and Aurora.
• Secure SSH tunnelling. Connect through a bastion host with keys stored safely in the macOS Keychain — with optional iCloud Keychain sync across your devices.

Work with your data

• Server Dashboard. A live view of your instance — status, tables, performance schema, and slow queries at a glance.
• Database Transfer. A robust engine for copying and syncing databases, resilient to large tables and flaky connections, with verification and safe resume.
• Tune. A configuration-tuning hub that scores your instance’s health and gives you ranked, actionable recommendations.
• Object editors, users, backups, and scheduled jobs — the everyday tools of database work, redesigned.

Meet the AI assistant

• Schema-aware chat. Ask questions and draft SQL with an assistant that understands your schema — without your data ever leaving your Mac.
• Slow-query & deadlock triage. Turn cryptic performance problems into plain-English explanations and concrete fixes.
• Transfer conflict resolution. Get help untangling schema and data conflicts during a transfer.
• You’re always in control. The assistant never runs changes on its own — every suggestion is yours to review and approve.

Privacy by design

• No account, no login, no tracking.
• Credentials and data stay on your device; only the AI requests you choose to send ever leave your Mac.
