Hydra Dev Studio is a native Mac workspace for developers. It holds your database connections, remote file servers, cloud storage, SSH sessions and source control repositories in one library, and opens each one as a tab in the same window. Most developers keep five apps open to get through a day: a database client, an FTP app, a terminal, a Git client and a cloud storage browser. Hydra replaces them with one.
Query and edit databases
Edit server files over SFTP or S3
Review and merge Git changes
Let AI agents work without passwords
Hydra Dev Studio features
Databases
Connect to MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, SQLite, DuckDB, ClickHouse, Amazon Athena and Amazon DynamoDB. Browse schemas, write queries, edit rows in the grid, and mark a connection read-only when it should never change.
Files and cloud storage
Work with SFTP, FTP and FTPS, Amazon S3, WebDAV, Azure Blob Storage, SMB and local folders in a dual-pane browser. Open a config file on a server, fix it and save it: the editor writes back the way each service supports, preserving encoding and line endings. Compare a local folder with what is on the server before you deploy.
Source control
Git and Subversion are built in. Review changes, stage a single hunk, resolve a conflict in a three-way merge, browse history and push, without leaving the window.
SSH
Open a terminal on any server in your library, and set up SSH tunnels to reach databases behind it.
AI agents, safely
Claude Code and other MCP clients can list, fetch, upload, query and compare across your connections through Hydra, without ever being given a password. When an agent changes something you have open, the window updates so you see it happen. Every action, by you or by an agent, is recorded in an activity log, and risky steps wait for you to approve them.
Your library, everywhere
Connections are grouped into workspaces and sync between your Macs through your private iCloud database. Passwords stay in your keychain.
