Could you build this?
Partial While an Electron or Tauri wrapper around Postgres queries is vibe-codeable, building a fully native macOS client with reliable schema diffing, ER diagram rendering, and an embedded MCP server is non-trivial.
What it would actually take: A production version would use Swift/SwiftUI or AppKit for native macOS performance, coupled with a robust PostgreSQL driver (libpq or pure Swift) and an embedded Model Context Protocol (MCP) daemon. The primary difficulties lie in high-performance native rendering for large ER diagrams, non-blocking asynchronous database connections, and precise SQL AST parsing for accurate schema diffing and migration generation. Achieving true macOS native fidelity alongside reliable database tooling requires experienced systems and macOS desktop developers.
