SQLite frontend for OS X?

Solution 1:

DB Browser for SQLite

DB Browser for SQLite is a light GUI editor for SQLite databases, built on top of Qt. The main goal of the project is to allow non-technical users to create, modify and edit SQLite databases using a set of wizards and a spreadsheet-like interface.

Solution 2:

It's a far cry from the other graphical tools mentioned here, but I've found that I prefer interacting with my SQLite databases with the built-in command line tool, sqlite3:

$ sqlite3 test.db
SQLite version 3.6.12
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> create table test (a, b);
sqlite> insert into test values (2, 3);
sqlite> insert into test values (4, 3);
sqlite> insert into test values (4, 5);
sqlite> select * from test where a<b;
2|3
4|5
sqlite> .schema
CREATE TABLE test (a, b);

The best part is that it's built into Mac OS X and is completely, 100% free. (No seriously, the code is in the public domain)

Solution 3:

You may like my app SQLPro for SQLite (App Store).

Some of the neat features it includes are:

  • Syntax highlighting & Autocomplete (sometimes called intellisense).
  • Customizable themes allowing the query editor to be completely customized.
  • The ability to run multiple queries at one time (and a customizable run query shortcut).
  • Primary key detection in the query results. When primary keys are detected you can update results & delete rows directly from the grid.
  • Errors in queries will be underlined.
