Database Support

One workspace for every database in your stack.

PostgreSQL runs natively. MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, and OracleDB are ready today. MongoDB, Redis, SQL Server, and Snowflake are on the way — all in one workspace, no context switching.

Early support shapes the roadmap: calmer query workflows, better schema visibility, and fewer sharp edges in release review.

Features

Group database connections under named workspaces with custom icons and automated activity tracking.

Connection Management

Support for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and more. Secure access via SSH tunnels and granular SSL configuration.

The current product direction is centered on a polished Postgres workflow, with room to expand connectors as the editor matures.

Yes. Orcaq is designed around switching between local, staging, and production profiles without cluttering the workspace.

The landing page positions Orcaq as a local-first editor. Credentials and connection details stay machine-side unless you add your own sync layer.

Yes. Core navigation is built around quick open, connection switching, recent queries, and command palette actions.

That is one of the central product ideas here: readable diffs, highlighted risk, and a calmer review step before anything destructive happens.

The page is framed for a native macOS release, with messaging that supports modern macOS on both Intel and Apple Silicon hardware.

Use the changelog section as the landing page anchor, then link it to release notes, roadmap updates, or a GitHub releases page later.
