Navicat Premium is a database tool that lets you connect to MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, and PostgreSQL all at the same time, inside one application.
Standout features, explained by the job they do
- Run queries without the fuss. The SQL console and query builder give you two ways to get answers from your data. Type commands directly or build them visually—whichever suits your mood.
- Design the blueprint. Data modeling tools and the ER diagram let you map out table relationships before you build anything. It’s the desk sketch that stops you painting yourself into a corner later.
- Get data in and out cleanly. The import/export wizard handles XLS, CSV, TXT, DBF, and XML. No scripts, no wrestling with command-line arguments.
- Share what you found. The report wizard turns query results into something a colleague can actually read, without you having to explain every column.
Connections that don't get in the way
Unicode support means your data looks right no matter the language. HTTP Tunnel gives you a path through firewalls when you need to reach a database that’s not on your local network. The app doesn't treat different database types as separate projects—you manage them side by side, which keeps your brain in one place instead of bouncing between windows.
Switching databases without a beachball
After a day of hopping between a PostgreSQL instance on the LAN and a remote Oracle box over SSH Tunnel, the interface stays snappy. Query results for tables with a couple hundred thousand rows appear without a beachball, and memory use on an Apple Silicon Mac sits around 300–400 MB with three connections open. That's not featherlight, but it's reasonable for an app juggling multiple database protocols under one roof.
Exporting a 90 MB dataset to CSV doesn't lock the interface. You can switch to another connection and keep working while the wizard does its thing in the background. If you're pulling in a Navicat Premium 17 Mac build fresh from a torrent or grabbing the latest Navicat for Mac release, this version settles in without the launch hangs that older builds sometimes tripped on Big Sur.
SSH tunnel rejects your private key
- SSH Tunnel hiccups on first connection. If the tunnel refuses to establish, check that your private key is in OpenSSH format. The app doesn't always say so, but it chokes on older PEM-style keys without a clear error. Convert it with
ssh-keygen -p -m PEM -f ~/.ssh/your_keyand you're back in business. - Fonts looking fuzzy on external displays. This crops up with some scaled resolutions. Switch the display to its native resolution in macOS settings, then relaunch Navicat. The crispness returns immediately.
- Query builder drag-and-drop lag. On larger schemas with hundreds of tables, the visual builder can stutter. Typing directly into the SQL console bypasses it entirely—faster and just as accurate once you know your column names.
- Navicat Premium crack Mac searches and torrent-sourced copies. Some repackaged builds floating around on Navicat torrent links strip out the HTTP Tunnel component. If you can't see the tunnel option in the connection settings, the copy is incomplete. A clean Navicat Premium torrent with all modules intact won't have that gap.
This 17.3.12 refresh rolls up the developer's most recent stability work and fine-tuning for the whole database toolkit.
- macOS 11 or later
- Works on both Apple Silicon and Intel 64-bit Macs
