Mongon for iOS - MongoDB in your pocket — now on iPhone

by
Last year I shipped Mongon — native MongoDB GUI for macOS. The #1 request: "put this on my iPhone." Today it's here. Mongon for iOS is a native Swift app with full CRUD, aggregation pipeline builder, Mongo shell, SSH tunnel, TLS, and SRV support. CloudKit syncs your connections from Mac — open the app and they're there. No Electron. No compromise. A real MongoDB client that fits in your pocket.

Why a mobile MongoDB GUI? For years the assumption was: "real database work happens at a desk." But after launching Mongon on Mac last year, the feedback I kept hearing was the opposite: • On-call engineers checking prod from a coffee shop • Founders verifying data during investor calls • Devs running quick queries on their commute • Teams doing code review on iPad and wanting to check the actual schema mid-discussion The workflows exist — the tool didn't. So I built it. A few things I'm proud of: • Touch-first pipeline builder: dragging $match, $group, $sort stages feels more natural than typing JSON on mobile. • CloudKit sync was already in Mongon Mac. Flipping the switch for iOS meant your connection list was there on day one — no setup screens. Long-term plan is to keep parity: every feature on Mac ships on iOS in the same release. No "mobile-lite."
