RoboMongo - A great MongoDB GUI for Mac OS X

I have been looking for a good enough MongoDB GUI to replace RockMongo which is one of the best web based GUI I have used for many years.

MongoDB is a great No SQL database, but surprisingly I have not seen any good quality GUI for Mac OS X, the last project that came close to becoming a replacement for RockMongo was Mongo Hub.  Mongo Hub had limited functionality and the project seems to have gotten stuck (in-active).

Today, I want to introduce RoboMongo.  It has minimal GUI, but it is easy to use.



You simply just need to create connection profiles and RoboMongo supports SSH tunneling which makes it easy to use and saves time.

RoboMongo's concept is simple, it is a command / script base GUI concept, the called it shell-centric, which means you need to know some basic MongoDB javascript like commands to be able to query and perform database actions.

I have been using RoboMongo since only about 2 weeks ago.  Since then I have rarely return back to use RockMongo.

Try RoboMongo, leave a comment of how you like it or tell me if you have found something better.

Thanks
