First public release of AtomIQ — a universal database workbench for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle.
Apple Silicon only. Intel Macs are not yet supported.
Install — copy and paste this whole block
brew tap rohith-baggam/atomiq
brew trust rohith-baggam/atomiq
brew reinstall --cask atomiq
open -a AtomIQThat's it. No security dialog, nothing else to click.
Update later with brew upgrade --cask atomiq, and remove it with brew uninstall --cask atomiq (add --zap to also delete settings and saved connections).
Why reinstall instead of install?
reinstall works for a first install and repairs things if the app was ever deleted. Plain brew install would just report "already installed" and do nothing, leaving you with no app and a confusing error.
What the tap does about Apple's security warning
AtomIQ is signed but not notarized — notarization needs a paid Apple Developer ID. macOS therefore quarantines the download and would normally block the first launch with "Apple could not verify AtomIQ is free of malware".
The cask clears that quarantine flag for you after install, which is the same thing the Open Anyway button in System Settings does. You have already made that trust decision explicitly by running brew trust on this tap — without it, Homebrew refuses to load the cask at all.
If you would rather make that call yourself, install the .dmg manually instead (below).
Or download the installer directly
| Installer | File |
|---|---|
| Disk image | AtomIQ_aarch64.dmg |
- Open the
.dmgand drag AtomIQ into Applications, then eject the disk image. - Open AtomIQ. macOS will say "Apple could not verify AtomIQ is free of malware".
- Click Done. Do not click Move to Bin — that deletes the app.
- Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, click Open Anyway, and confirm.
If the window opens but shows "Cannot reach the AtomIQ backend", the bundled backend is still quarantined. Run:
/usr/bin/xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/AtomIQ.appThe -r matters — without it only the outer app is cleared and the backend stays blocked. /usr/bin/xattr is spelled out because a pip-installed xattr can shadow Apple's and reject -r.
Right-click → Open no longer works — Apple removed that shortcut in macOS 15 (Sequoia).
64-bit (x64) only. ARM Windows runs the x64 build under emulation.
| Installer | File | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | AtomIQ_x64-setup.exe |
Normal install |
| MSI | AtomIQ_x64_en-US.msi |
IT / group-policy deployment |
First launch — SmartScreen shows a blue warning. Click More info, then Run anyway.
x86_64 only. ARM Linux is not yet supported.
| Installer | File | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| AppImage | AtomIQ_amd64.AppImage |
Any distro, no install needed |
| Debian | AtomIQ_amd64.deb |
Debian, Ubuntu, Mint |
| RPM | AtomIQ_x86_64.rpm |
Fedora, RHEL, openSUSE |
AppImage needs the execute bit first:
chmod +x AtomIQ_amd64.AppImage
./AtomIQ_amd64.AppImage
Debian / Ubuntu
sudo dpkg -i AtomIQ_amd64.deb
Fedora / RHEL
sudo rpm -i AtomIQ_x86_64.rpm
No Gatekeeper-style prompt on Linux.
Notes
- These builds are not signed with a paid Apple or Microsoft certificate, which is why macOS and Windows show a one-time warning. Linux is unaffected.
- Files ending in
.sig, plusAtomIQ.app.tar.gz, are auto-updater artifacts — not downloads. Ignore them in the Assets list below. - Every download's SHA-256 is shown next to it in Assets. Verify with
shasum -a 256 <file>(macOS/Linux) orcertutil -hashfile <file> SHA256(Windows). - The macOS build was rebuilt after release to fix a startup failure where the backend could not load its SQLite library. Windows and Linux installs have been verified working.
