Naucturne
Comparison

Naucturne vs the tools it replaces

Termius, TablePlus, DBeaver, FileZilla, WinSCP: each is excellent at one layer. Naucturne covers the whole chain - files, databases, DNS, email - and makes teams work together without overwrites.

The 4 layers

What a terminal or transfer client doesn't cover

The daily reality of an agency or freelancer isn't just SSH: it's the database behind the site, the DNS zone at the registrar, the outbound email setup, and teammates editing the same files.

Built-in database client

MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL next to your files - direct, through an SSH tunnel, or via the PHP gateway on shared hosting without SSH.

DNS management

Edit your OVHcloud, Cloudflare, GoDaddy and IONOS zones from the same window, with BIND import/export for everything else.

Outbound email setup

Connect a domain and Naucturne configures the sending server and sets SPF, DKIM, MX and DMARC records for you.

Real-time conflict detection

See who is editing what, and get warned when a file changed on the server since your copy - no more overwriting each other.

Honest take

Who should keep using what

No tool wins everywhere. Here is where the others remain the better choice.

Keep Termius if...

You live in the terminal all day, need mobile SSH clients (iOS/Android) and mosh support. Termius is a great SSH-first tool - it just stops at the terminal.

Keep TablePlus if...

You need a native client for many database engines (Redis, SQLite, Cassandra...) and nothing else. It is database-only by design.

Keep DBeaver if...

You want a free, open-source, multi-database workbench with advanced SQL tooling (ER diagrams, data migration) and don't need files, DNS or email.

Keep FileZilla / WinSCP if...

You only transfer files occasionally and a free classic client is enough. When you start juggling databases, DNS and teammates, that's where Naucturne takes over - and imports your sites in one click.
