Safe Mode
Safe Mode is a per-connection setting that controls how TablePro handles query execution. Each connection can have its own level, from unrestricted access to complete write protection. Set the Safe Mode level in the Customization pane of the connection form.Levels
TablePro provides 6 graduated Safe Mode levels:| Level | Icon | Write Queries | Read Queries | Authentication |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silent | lock.open | Execute immediately | Execute immediately | None |
| Alert | exclamationmark.triangle | Confirmation dialog | Execute immediately | None |
| Alert (Full) | exclamationmark.triangle.fill | Confirmation dialog | Confirmation dialog | None |
| Safe Mode | lock.shield | Confirmation + Touch ID | Execute immediately | Touch ID / password |
| Safe Mode (Full) | lock.shield.fill | Confirmation + Touch ID | Confirmation + Touch ID | Touch ID / password |
| Read Only | lock.fill | Blocked entirely | Execute immediately | None |
How It Works
Silent
No restrictions. Queries execute immediately. TablePro still shows its built-in dangerous query warning for DROP, TRUNCATE, and DELETE-without-WHERE statements.Alert
A confirmation dialog appears before executing write queries (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, TRUNCATE, ALTER, etc.). The dialog shows a preview of the SQL to be executed. Read queries run without prompts.Alert (Full)
Same as Alert, but the confirmation dialog appears for ALL queries, including SELECT statements. Useful when you want to review every query before execution.Safe Mode
Like Alert, but after confirming the dialog, you must also authenticate with Touch ID or your macOS password. Falls back to system password if Touch ID is unavailable.Safe Mode (Full)
Combines Alert (Full) and Safe Mode: every query requires both a confirmation dialog and Touch ID/password authentication.Read Only
All write operations are blocked. The UI disables:- Inline cell editing
- Adding, deleting, and duplicating rows
- Table truncate and drop operations
- Import functionality
NoSQL Databases
MongoDB, Redis, and other NoSQL databases can’t be parsed for read vs. write operations. All operations are treated as writes. In Alert/Safe Mode, every query triggers a confirmation. Read Only blocks everything.Toolbar Badge
The current Safe Mode level appears as a badge in the toolbar (orange for Alert levels, red for Safe Mode/Read Only). Click it to change levels. Safe Mode gates apply to query execution, saving cell edits, table operations, and sidebar changes.External Clients
Safe Mode runs inside the app on every query you execute. External clients (Raycast, Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP clients) hit a separate gate first. A write request from an external client clears three locks in this order:- External Clients (per-connection: Blocked / Read Only / Read & Write). Set in the connection form’s Advanced pane. A Read Only connection rejects any write before the request reaches the database.
- Token scope (per-integration,
readOnly/readWrite/fullAccess). Issued by the pairing flow and bounded by External Access: effective permission isMIN(token.scope, connection.externalAccess). - Safe Mode (per-query). The same rules on this page apply once the request has been routed to the connection. Touch ID prompts and confirmation dialogs still appear, even for queries originating from an external client.
