You need iOS 18 or later. Builds ship on their own schedule, so a feature in a Mac release note may not be on your phone yet. Your version and build are under Settings > About. Connections saved on a Mac come over iCloud; the rest of your Mac setup stays on the Mac.
TablePro connection list on iPhone

The connection list on iPhone

​
Supported databases

Every driver is compiled in, so there is no plugin system and nothing to install. The type picker offers these eight:
Redshift is not in the picker, but the driver is present: a Redshift connection created on the Mac connects once it syncs over.
MongoDB, ClickHouse, Cassandra, BigQuery, Snowflake and the rest have no iOS driver. Those connections still sync and still appear in the list, but opening one fails.

​
What syncs over

The same CloudKit container as the Mac, with iCloud Sync on by default here and off by default there. Three record types cross: connections (host, port, SSH tunnel and SSL settings, color, safe mode level), groups with their nesting, and tags. SSH profiles, table favorites, saved queries, and app settings are skipped, and query history on the phone is only what you ran on the phone. Three things a connection depends on are per device and never sync: Passwords are a separate opt-in, off by default, at Settings > Sync > Sync Passwords. They ride iCloud Keychain and only new saves are affected, so re-save a password on the Mac to push it across. Sync Now sits in the same section, and a background refresh runs about every 30 minutes.
Picking a SQLite file copies it into the app, and edits go to that copy, so the original never changes and the two drift apart. DuckDB writes back to the file you picked.

​
What works

An open connection has four tabs: Tables, Query, History, Info. Cmd+1 through Cmd+4 switch between them on a keyboard, and a toolbar menu switches database and schema when the engine has more than one.

​
Browsing

Page a table at 50, 100, 200, or 500 rows, jump to a page number, sort by a column, search text columns, and stack filters with AND or OR. A foreign key value previews the row it points at. Table Structure lists columns, indexes, and foreign keys, read only.

​
Editing

Tap a row to open it full screen, page between rows, edit values, toggle one to NULL, and save. Inserting and deleting rows, and truncating or dropping a table, are here too. Editing needs a primary key.

​
Querying

The editor highlights SQL, runs a statement, and stops one mid-flight. Results copy or export as JSON, CSV, or SQL INSERT. A running query appears in a Live Activity on the lock screen and Dynamic Island; Settings > Privacy hides the SQL text there.

​
What is missing

  • Schema changes. Truncating and dropping a table is the whole list; creating or altering tables, columns, indexes, triggers, and views is Mac only.
  • AI. No chat, no inline suggestions, no MCP server.

​
Security

Turn on Face ID, Touch ID, or Optic ID under Settings > Security. A cold launch always asks; after that Auto-Lock relocks immediately or after 1, 5, 15, or 60 minutes idle, starting at 5. Each connection carries its own safe mode level, synced from the Mac and settable here. iOS has three: Off, Confirm Writes, and Read-Only, which refuses writes outright. Settings > New Connections sets the level a new connection starts at. SSH tunnels authenticate with a password or a private key, and an unknown host key prompts with its fingerprint first.

​
Shortcuts and widgets

Three App Intents put the app in Shortcuts, the Share Sheet, and Siri: Open Connection, Add Row to Table, Add Rows to Table. See iOS Shortcuts for pickers, data formats, and limits. A Quick Connect home screen widget opens a saved connection directly, tablepro://connect/<uuid> deep links work as on the Mac, Handoff carries an open connection between devices, and a .tablepro file from Files or AirDrop imports connections.
