The All-New Engine
We focus strongly on improving responsiveness, usability, and performance. We engineered an entirely new mechanism and applied multithreading, so you can run certain tasks in parallel to increase the overall efficiency of your database development.

Cloud Database Navigation
Manage both on-premises and cloud databases such as Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, Amazon Redshift, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, Google Cloud and MongoDB Atlas. Just simply establish connection using the pertinent information that your cloud databases provide.

Effortless Deployment Toolkit
Add your favorite tabs to On Startup and have them open automatically when Navicat launches, and use MacBook Pro Touch Bar to easily access Navicat features and controls.

Diversified Manipulation Tool
Use Import/Export Wizard to have data conversion from plain text formats such as TXT, CSV, XML and JSON. Add, modify, and delete records with our built-in editors, you can facilitate your edits in Tree View, JSON View, and the classic spreadsheet-like Grid View. Navicat Essentials gives you the tools you need to manage your data efficiently and ensure a smooth process.

Make Collaboration Easy
Synchronize your connection settings and queries to our Navicat Cloud service so you can get real-time access to them, and share them with your coworkers anytime and anywhere. With Navicat Cloud, you can leverage every minute of your day to maximize your productivity. Learn more >

Advanced Secure Connection
Establish secure connections through SSH Tunneling and SSL ensure every connection is secure, stable, and reliable. Support different authentication methods of database servers such as PAM authentication for MySQL and MariaDB, Kerberos and X.509 authentication for MongoDB, and GSSAPI authentication for PostgreSQL. Navicat provides more authentication mechanisms and high-performance environments so you never have to worry about connecting over an insecure network.

Cross-platform licensing is now available. Whether you’re operating on Windows, macOS, or Linux, you can purchase once and select a platform to activate and later on transfer your license.
