Introduction

Spanna is a modern MongoDB client for browsing, querying, editing, and comparing data across desktop and browser.

/docs/introduction

Spanna is a MongoDB client built for day-to-day engineering work. It gives you the tools you actually use when working with live data: browse collections, run real queries, inspect schema and indexes, compare records, and move data in and out without bouncing between half a dozen utilities.

The goal is simple: make common MongoDB workflows fast, clear, and easy to navigate.
