Top 20 PostgreSQL GUI clients and admin tools
Open-source ways to browse, edit and chart a Postgres database
Updated · GitHub stars (stars)
Why these 20
Ranked by GitHub stars: how many developers bookmarked the project. Stars measure attention, not quality, so each row also shows forks, licence, the last push and the section of the community list it sits in. Closed-source tools in the same list (DataGrip, TablePlus, Postico, Navicat-style paid clients and others) have no public star count, so they can't be ranked here.

Refreshed every 6 hours.
