DBeaver is solid and supports the most DBs with lots of handy features: https://dbeaver.io/
Jetbrains Datagrip is popular too, more intelligent but less DBs than DBeaver: https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/
If you want a web-based tool, especially for Postgres, then OmniDB is a good choice: https://www.omnidb.org/en/

Interestingly, OmniDB is built with Django.
DBeaver has support for many databases through JDBC.

I recently discovered DBeaver and can highly recommend it. It is a bit more complicated to use than some alternatives, but really powerful. Also supports a large
number of databases.

For Mac and Windows I really like TablePlus: https://tableplus.io/
First saw it here.

I've been using TablePlus as well. I like that it has true native UI and the redis support is handy.

Yup - TablePlus is beautiful. I tried it for a few days and paid for it, really works wonderfully on macOS.

I use three tools interchangeably. DBeaver as mentioned by other comments.
Squirrel SQL[0] has been around for a very long time. I have been using it for well over 10 years. Probably 15. Don't be fooled by the dated screenshots. First thing I always do it change the look and feel to Windows native then looks like any other Windows application. SQL Workbench/J[1]. Has tonnes of features, is well documented. I particularly like the headless mode which allows me to automate running of SQL statements using a batch file.

I would argue Datagrip has yet to fail me while having a ton of support for many databases. Including support for MySQL 4.0.16. I had to use that DB for my previous job about a year ago. With datagrip I just needed to download an old jar file and I had a connection automatically.

A simple postgres client I'm working on in my free time: https://sanchosql.com/
Linux only now but it's open source so it should be possible to compile for win/mac

I enjoy Sqlectron. Good cross-platform support, and a terminal option if you'd prefer.

I'm a big fan of Aqua Data Studio. I'd never heard of it until my current position, but it's very nice.
