pgAdmin3 is the postgres GUI tool you are looking for. Avoid pgAdmin4.

Or datagrip is quite nice.

Datagrip is nice but not free :(

I'd like to turn the HN community's attention on sqlectron:

https://github.com/sqlectron/sqlectron-gui/

It's a nice electron-based app which works with postgres, sqlite, mysql, redshift, sqlserver and cassandra. It's not perfect but it's free and needs some development help if anyone good with react feels generous :)

[brianwawok]

It's free as in you already paid for it if you get the toolbox ;)

Life is too short to use tools that don't work well to save a few hundred bucks a year.

Is that the one running `select * from table` when you click on it?

[scrollaway]

No?

SQLPro Studio on Mac is nice as well, and it's on SetApp

What's wrong with pgAdmin4?

[pvdebbe]

Super bloated webview-as-a-desktop-app that makes electron apps look like they run hand-optimized assembler code.

I go for DBeaver, works marvellously.

[scrollaway]

What a disaster pgadmin4 is. Had to package it for Arch recently.

I legitimately don't understand why they don't use Electron. Irrational hate of all things JS? There's a right tool for the job and this is it.

Well, they do use JS, though it is crapton of medicore jQuery plugins that run in ages old QtWebkit Python bindings.
