Rolens: intuitive MongoDB administration tool

Robust, blazing-fast, comprehensive, yet simple MongoDB administration tool for Windows, macOS and Linux.

CI Documentation

Why another MongoDB client?

This project arose from all flaws of similar tools many of which are slow, complicated, heavy, and fairly unwieldy. They mostly require a reasonably high level of knowledge on how to operate the program.

Rolens aims to be the intuitive, lightweight counterpart of these overengineered tools.

  • Lightweight: Rolens weighs about 15 MB.
  • Open source: You know what's inside!
  • Low overhead: Typical query results against a local database are returned whithin milliseconds.
  • Intuitive interface: You know MongoDB? You know Rolens.

Impression of Rolens's interface

This project is heavily inspired by the excellent MongoHub application, which sadly has not been updated since 2011.

Download and installation

Rolens can run on the following operating systems:

  • Windows 10/11 amd64/arm64
  • Linux amd64/arm64
  • macOS 10.13+ amd64 (Intel)
  • macOS 11.0+ arm64 (Apple Silicon)

Pre-compiled binaries

You can obtain a pre-compiled Rolens binary for macOS or installer for Windows from the release page.

Compiling from source

Please refer to the documentation for detailed compilation instructions.

User guide

Rolens is designed to be as intuitive as possible. But if something is unclear nevertheless, you can consult the user manual to learn how to use the program.
