The MongoDB client that feels like home on your Mac.
Native. Fast. Beautiful. Free to start, one-time purchase or subscription.
Trusted by 5,000+ daily active users
Click any ObjectId. Jump to the related document.
Navigate your data like a graph database. No other MongoDB client does this.
One-Click Navigation
Every ObjectId field in your documents becomes a clickable link. Click it to open the referenced document in a new tab. Mongon automatically detects which collection the ID belongs to.
Smart Collection Learning
Mongon remembers which fields map to which collections. After your first navigation, it suggests the right collection every time — using fuzzy matching with Levenshtein distance.
Deep Linking
Follow chains of references across multiple collections. Click through user → order → product → category as fast as you can click. Each hop opens in its own tab.
35+ date macros. No more ISODate() by hand.
Type # to Start
Type # anywhere in your query and an autocomplete dropdown appears with all available macros. Use #today, #last7days, #startOfMonth, and many more.
Works Everywhere
Date macros work in filters, projections, sorts, and all 14 aggregation pipeline stages. They resolve to the correct ISODate at query time — no mental math required.
Always Up to Date
Macros evaluate relative to the current time every time you run a query. Save a query with #last24hours and it always returns the latest data.
Your entire stack. One ⌘P away.
Multi-Connection
Connect to local, staging, and production at the same time. Each connection has a color indicator so you always know where you are.
⌘PQuick Open
Open the command palette and jump to any collection, tab, or saved query instantly. Find what you need without scrolling through the sidebar.
Workspaces
Save your tab layout and restore it later. Your entire workspace comes back exactly how you left it — open tabs, scroll positions, and query drafts.
14-stage aggregation pipeline builder. Visual.
Stage-by-Stage Preview
Click on any stage to see the intermediate output at that point. Understand exactly how your data transforms without running the full pipeline. Supports all 14 stages: $match, $group, $project, $lookup, $unwind, $sort, $limit, $skip, $count, $out, $merge, $addFields, $replaceRoot, and $sample.
Date Macros in Pipelines
Use date macros like #last30days directly in your aggregation stages. They work in $match, $addFields, and every other stage that accepts date values.
Drag, Reorder, Export
Reorder stages by dragging. When your pipeline is ready, copy the raw MongoDB query or export it as a code snippet.
CloudKit Sync
Your Connections, Everywhere

What Developers Say
Real feedback from developers using Mongon every day.
“Mongon replaced Compass and three CLI aliases for me. The query builder is incredibly fast, and relation navigation saves me hours every week.”
“The date macros alone are worth it. I used to copy-paste ISODate strings constantly — now I just type $today or $startOfMonth and move on.”
“CloudKit sync is seamless. I switch between my iMac and MacBook and all my connections are just there. No export/import dance.”
“The aggregation pipeline builder finally made pipelines approachable for our junior devs. Drag, drop, preview — it just works.”
“I love that it feels like a real Mac app, not an Electron wrapper. Keyboard shortcuts, native menus, smooth scrolling — everything is snappy.”
“Switched from Studio 3T and haven't looked back. The 15 themes are a nice touch — Dracula mode at 2 AM is non-negotiable for me.”
