A fast, native MongoDB client for Windows
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
- Beta target: MongoDB 5 through 7, including Atlas connection strings
- 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 Windows specifically
A real Win32 application rendering through DirectX 12 — not an Electron shell. Credentials live in Windows Credential Manager; Ctrl-shortcuts follow platform conventions.
The Windows build shares the same codebase, renderer architecture, and core workflows as macOS and Linux.

Common questions
Is Zolt a native MongoDB client on Windows?
Yes. Zolt is written end-to-end in Rust on GPUI and renders through DirectX 12 on Windows — no Electron, no WebView. Credentials are stored in Windows Credential Manager.
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.
