Creating Connections

Seaquel stores all connections securely on your device using keychain integration. No cloud accounts, no telemetry.

Two ways to connect

Connection form

1. Click New Connection.
2. Choose a database type: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, DuckDB, or MSSQL.
3. Fill in the fields: name, host, port, database, username, and password.
4. Click Test Connection to verify.
5. Click Save & Connect.

Connection string

1. Click New Connection.
2. Switch to Connection String mode.
3. Paste a URI, for example:

   postgresql://user:password@host:5432/database

4. Seaquel parses the string and fills in the form fields automatically.
5. Click Test Connection, then Save & Connect.

Connection security

• Credentials are stored in your system’s keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or Linux Secret Service).
• Your data never leaves your machine.
• No accounts or cloud sync required.

Managing connections

Saved connections appear in the sidebar. Right-click a connection to edit, duplicate, or delete it. Connections persist across app restarts.
