Rolens: intuitive MongoDB administration tool
Robust, blazing-fast, comprehensive, yet simple MongoDB administration tool for Windows, macOS and Linux.
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.
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
If you have Node.js installed, just download the source from GitHub, and run node ./build.js. The install script will check that dependencies are present and build Rolens for you.
If you want to build it yourself, please refer to the advanced build process 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.
