A complete visual MongoDB workspace for macOS — query builder, aggregation pipelines, schema diagrams, and dashboards. Native .dmg installers for Apple Silicon and Intel.
Looking for a MongoDB client for Mac that does more than list documents? VisuaLeaf is a desktop MongoDB workspace built around one idea: everything about your data should be visual. Build find queries by clicking instead of memorizing operator syntax, compose aggregation pipelines stage by stage with live previews, and turn deeply nested documents into schema diagrams you can actually reason about.
VisuaLeaf ships native macOS builds — a dedicated arm64 .dmg for Apple Silicon (M1 through M4) and an x64 .dmg for Intel Macs — and supports macOS 11 Big Sur and later. It connects to MongoDB Atlas, a local mongod, or any self-hosted replica set, and nothing about your data ever leaves your machine.
Native installers for Apple Silicon and Intel. macOS 11.0 or later.
For macOS 11.0 or later — Apple Silicon & Intel
A dedicated arm64 build for M-series Macs — no Rosetta, no translation layer. Intel Macs get their own x64 build.
Queries, aggregations, schemas, and charts are all built visually — you see your data instead of guessing at it.
Connect to MongoDB Atlas with an SRV string, a local mongod, or your own servers — all from one connection manager.
No telemetry and no data collection. Your connections and documents stay on your Mac.
Grab the Apple Silicon or Intel installer above — the page detects which Mac you have.
Open the .dmg and drag VisuaLeaf into your Applications folder. That's the whole install.
Paste an Atlas connection string or point it at localhost, and start browsing visually.
