Zero telemetry
No usage analytics, no crash reporters, no beacons. The desktop app does not send usage telemetry.
Private by design
A MongoDB GUI that doesn't phone home. Zero telemetry, no account.
The MQLens desktop app does not collect usage telemetry or require an account. Connection credentials are encrypted locally. The app communicates with the MongoDB deployments you connect to, checks for updates, and can use optional AI providers when configured. Read the source and review each optional integration before using sensitive data.
Free & open source (Apache-2.0) · No telemetry · No account.
Why MQLens
What 'private' actually means here
No account
Download and connect. No sign-up, no email, no license server.
Credentials encrypted locally
Connection profiles are encrypted with AES-256-GCM (Argon2id key derivation) behind a master password, with biometric unlock.
Open source
Apache-2.0 — read exactly what the app does and build it yourself.
Signed builds
macOS-notarized, Windows-signed, and GPG-signed Linux artifacts you can verify before running.
Native, not Electron
A desktop app built with Tauri and Rust, using the system WebView.
