A fast, native MongoDB client for macOS
MongoDB support is in development for the public beta, targeting collection browsing, aggregations, and document inspection in a native interface.
What you get
- Status: in development — the MongoDB client ships with the public beta

- Document browser with collapsible BSON tree and JSON view
- Aggregation pipeline editor with stage-by-stage previews
- GPU-rendered collection grids for large result cursors
Why macOS specifically
Apple-silicon native. Renders through Metal — the same path Zed uses — with proper macOS conventions: native menu bar, ⌘-shortcuts, Keychain-stored credentials.
The macOS build shares the same Rust + GPUI codebase and core workflows as the Windows and Linux builds.

Common questions
Is Zolt a native MongoDB client on macOS?
Yes. Zolt is written end-to-end in Rust on GPUI and renders through Metal on macOS — no Electron, no WebView. Credentials are stored in macOS Keychain.
Is Zolt an alternative to MongoDB Compass?
Zolt is targeting day-to-day collection browsing, queries, and aggregations for the public beta. MongoDB support is still in development, so test the beta against the workflows you rely on before switching from Compass.
