I recently released v3 of Base, my SQLite editor for macOS.

The goal of this app is to provide a comfortable native GUI for SQLite, without it turning into a massive IDE-style app.

The coolest features are

- That it can handle full altering of tables, which is quite finicky to do manually with SQLite.

- It has a more detailed display of column constraints than most editors. Each constraint is shown as an icon if active, with full details available on clicking the icon.

This update also adds support for attaching databases, which is a bit fiddly with macOS sandboxing.

I'd love to hear any feedback or answer any questions.

Why does it need Sequoia? That’s a no-go for me.

Because targeting the latest release lets the developer use new APIs/features that are not available on older OSes making development more productive and pleasant.

Of course, there’s a balance to be struck to support users, but macOS update uptake is usually pretty fast.
