Before that I was using Navicat Premium Essentials. I got it for ~$20. It's now ~$150 which is too much given it's limited functionality and spotty reliability IMO.
re:dash is overly simple for serious use IMO. Edit: We're actually using this now. It's more of service than an SQL client. It allows casual users (e.g. not full time analysts) to run queries without any setup. Great for centralised dashboards and sharing queries. Try this before you commit to something like Periscope, Looker or Mode.
Portico (was PG Commander) looks interesting but I (personally) need to work with multiple database flavors so it's a non-starter.
SQuirreL and SQL Workbench/J are both pretty crunchy and old feeling Java apps. If you've been on a Mac for a while they will make your eyes bleed.
There is also Toad on the Mac App Store. The screenshots look Mac native but it's pretty crunchy and unpleasant. It feels like going back in time.
Update 2016–09–02: I would suggest that you also look into the “code notebook” applications that are available now, e.g.
Jupyter,
Zeppelin, and
Beaker. You may well find these tools more useful unless you’re a full time DBA. We have replaced Re:Dash with Zeppelin internally.
