Access local postgres with SequelPro

I am using Sequel Pro and want to access my local Postgres DB.

When I get prompted in sequel pro to add connection details for my db I oblige:

And then when I click connect I get:

I am on a mac running Catalina 10.15.3.

The database I am running is a postgres installed with brew. When I run brew services list I get:

enter image description here

My application (a laravel application using laravel valet) can access the database.

What can be wrong? I have some thoughts...

If I enter my db and type: select inet_server_addr( ), inet_server_port( );

I get this output:

 inet_server_addr | inet_server_port
------------------+------------------
                  |
(1 row)

And I think that I should get 127.0.0.1 at least in the inet_server_addr column....

I don't know if this is a hint of where the error might be or not.

So, to summarize. My thoughts go in the direction that I am not running the postgres server 100% correctly... BUT i still think it is strange that my app can access the db but not Sequel Pro...

If I typ 127.0.0.1 in my browser I get a 404 - Not Found

How do I do to be able to access my local postgres with Sequel Pro?

There's a nice replica:

SQLPro for Postgres

It's not free like SequelPro though.

As a_horse_with_no_name pointed out in the comments, the website states that Sequel Pro is for MySQL databases, not Postgres:

"Sequel Pro is a fast, easy-to-use Mac database management application for working with MySQL databases."
