Your First Connection

1. Click Add Connection in the sidebar.
2. Fill in the connection form:
   • Name — anything (e.g. “Staging DB”); optionally assign a colour to tell environments apart.
   • Kind — PostgreSQL
   • Host / Port / Database / Username / Password
   • TLS Mode — use Require for any remote database.
3. Click Test Connection — a green check confirms the credentials and shows the server version.
4. Click Save, select the connection, then Connect.
5. The Overview tab shows version, size, table/user counts, active connections, and uptime.

Credentials are stored in your OS keychain, so you won’t re-enter them next launch.
