SQLPro for Postgres
SQLPro for Postgres is a native macOS database client for connecting to PostgreSQL servers, running queries, and browsing database objects.
What is SQLPro for Postgres?
SQLPro for Postgres is a macOS developer tool for working with PostgreSQL databases through a graphical interface. It helps developers, analysts, and database administrators connect to Postgres servers, write and run SQL queries, inspect tables and columns, and manage common database tasks without relying entirely on the command line. The app is designed for Mac users who want a focused client for everyday querying, troubleshooting, and schema exploration. Common workflows include connecting to local or remote PostgreSQL instances, editing SQL in tabs, reviewing results, and exporting or copying data for other tools. It is published by Hankinsoft Development Inc and is intended specifically for PostgreSQL rather than MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
This is a legitimate database client for macOS. It can access the database servers and query results you connect it to, so the main privacy and security consideration is the sensitivity of your own database data and credentials. Network access is normal for its purpose, and any saved connections should be handled with the same care you would use for other database tools. Keep it only if you use PostgreSQL on your Mac, and use trusted server details when connecting.
Recommendation: Keep SQLPro for Postgres if you actively connect to PostgreSQL databases from your Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app to free space, but you may want to keep it installed if it is part of your regular development or database administration workflow.
