Why DB Pro instead of Arctype?
Arctype was a well-designed, modern SQL client with a clean interface and a focus on making everyday database work feel pleasant. After it was acquired by Cube, it was discontinued and is no longer maintained or available, which left a lot of people looking for a new home for their daily database work.
DB Pro picks up that same modern, fast feel and puts it in an app that is actively developed. You get a built-in AI assistant, a fast data browser, a record inspector, a SQL editor, and a schema explorer in one native app for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
If you liked how Arctype looked and felt but need a tool you can count on, DB Pro is built for exactly that. It is here today, it ships regular updates, and it gives you a clear path forward instead of a dead end.
DB Pro vs Arctype
A tool that is still here
Arctype is no longer maintained or available after being acquired and discontinued. DB Pro is actively developed, with regular updates and ongoing support, so you can build your daily workflow on it without worrying that it will disappear.
The modern feel, plus AI
DB Pro keeps the clean, fast experience that made Arctype enjoyable and adds a built-in AI assistant that helps you write queries, explain unfamiliar schemas, and debug SQL without leaving the app.
Native across every platform
A fast data browser, a record inspector, a SQL editor, and a schema explorer come together in one native app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Everything stays responsive, even on large tables.
Making the switch from Arctype
If you were an Arctype user, moving to DB Pro should feel natural. The modern, low-friction approach is familiar, so you can connect to your database, browse your tables, and run queries right away, then explore the AI assistant and record inspector when you have a moment.
DB Pro has a free plan, so you can try it on a real project before paying anything. When you are ready for a paid plan, you can use code save50 for 50% off.
