Database Design Tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux | DbSchema

Whether you need:

  • A database modeling tool for macOS
  • A schema designer that runs easily on Linux
  • A cross-platform alternative to Windows-only software

DbSchema, built with Java and JavaFX, is designed to integrate into your workflow, regardless of your operating system.
