MQLens
Choosing a MongoDB workspace

Considering an alternative to NoSQLBooster? Start with your workflow.

NoSQLBooster is a MongoDB GUI and IDE. MQLens offers a free Apache-2.0 desktop workspace for browsing documents, writing MongoDB queries, composing aggregations, and inspecting explain plans. Evaluate both with the queries and connection settings you use every day.

MQLens workspace with sample data in two collection panes
Step by step

Evaluate MQLens with a real task

  1. Connect to a test database

    Set up your connection and check authentication, TLS, and SSH requirements before moving any production work.

  2. Run a familiar query

    Browse the result, build an aggregation, and inspect an explain plan. Compare usability with the tool you already know.

  3. Check your requirements

    If your workflow depends on NoSQLBooster-specific scripting or IDE behavior, test it explicitly. MQLens’s embedded shell uses mongosh, and ordinary query editing follows MongoDB query and aggregation syntax.
