Mongrove is a lightweight native desktop MongoDB client for people who work with aggregation pipelines every day.

It is denser than Compass and much lighter (and free) than Studio 3T. On Windows the installer is ~4 MB and the app uses ~47 MB RAM at idle. Starts in about a second.

Key features:

• Visual Aggregate Builder (drag & drop stages, live preview of each stage, export to code)

• Data Model / ERD generated from collections

• Visual Explain

• Schema exploration

• Table / JSON / tree views with inline editing

• Readonly mode for safer production use

Public alpha (v0.3). Donationware — core stays free. Windows, macOS, Linux.
Use at your own risk.
