Frequently Asked Questions
Is my database data secure?
Yes. QueryMax connects directly from your Mac to your database. We do not proxy connections, and we never see or store your data on our servers. Passwords are stored in your Mac's Keychain.
Which databases are supported?
SQLite is included for free. MySQL and MariaDB unlock for a one-time $19.99. Without the unlock you can add one read-only MySQL or MariaDB schema. Postgres is on the roadmap.
What does QueryMax cost?
The SQLite IDE is free. Unlocking MySQL and MariaDB is a one-time $19.99 purchase. There is no subscription. Until you unlock, you can add one read-only MySQL or MariaDB schema.
Do I need to pay for AI features separately?
You need to provide your own API key (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) to use the AI features. This ensures you control your usage and costs directly with the provider.
Does QueryMax work on Intel Macs?
QueryMax is optimized for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) but runs beautifully on Intel Macs running macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later.
