This is actually pretty slick!

Hi everyone. A few months ago I left my gig as a product designer at Apple to work on Schema, a pocket-sized PostgreSQL and MySQL database client.

Like many (most?) of you, I build things regularly and often find myself wishing for a great db client for iOS. So... I’m shipping one. A couple things worth highlighting:

1. Schema has a simple but customizable interface designed for small screens. You can format raw data, mess with layouts, and use gestures to expand and collapse rows.

2. Supabase realtime API support is built right in.

3. The search works within and across tables.

4. You can enable notifications to subscribe to inserts on tables. Useful when you’re watching something like new signups like a hawk.

5. There’s a lightweight way to share a rows in emergencies (think gist for table rows) called expiring links.

But it’s early and we’re now a team of 4 working towards the next major release. There’s lots to build, and I hope you give it a try.

Not only do I have a native OS mobile database now(most of the App Store ones suck), it’s also gorgeous and actually fun to use.

I'm loving it!
