Think Compass-style workflows, redesigned for mobile-first speed.

What Is Needl?

Needl is a cross-platform MongoDB Atlas explorer built primarily for phone use. It lets you browse databases/collections, inspect and edit documents, and run filters quickly from a mobile-friendly UI.

If you like MongoDB Compass but wish there was a phone-native experience, Needl is exactly that idea.
