Comparison guide
Looking for a DBeaver alternative?
VeloxDB offers a cleaner PostgreSQL-first workflow with native performance and less interface overhead.
DBeaver is powerful but broad. VeloxDB is purpose-built for PostgreSQL development tasks where speed, clarity, and local-first security matter.
Why teams switch
- PostgreSQL-first interface that reduces setup friction for daily work.
- Lightweight native app footprint for faster launches and less memory usage.
- Built-in visual model design workflow for schema planning and migrations.
- Secure connection options including SSH tunnels and encrypted transport.

FAQ
Does VeloxDB support macOS and Windows?
