What mongoterm can do today. For what's planned or still missing compared to MongoDB Compass, see Roadmap.

Connections

• Manage multiple saved MongoDB connections
• Import / export connections — supports both MongoDB Compass's own connection JSON shape and a plain mongosh-style URI list (x/i keys on the tree panel; format auto-detected by file extension)

Databases & collections

• Browse, create, and drop databases
• Browse, create, and drop collections

Documents

• View documents (tree-formatted, with type-aware coloring for ObjectId, Date, Buffer, etc.)
• Insert, edit, delete, and duplicate documents
• Field-level type cycling in the record editor (String/Number/Boolean/ Date/ObjectId/Null/Array/Object)

Query

• Query filter bar with JSON validation (red border on invalid JSON)
• $operator autocomplete dropdown
• Query history
• Sort UI (s key)
• Pagination with configurable page size (shift+s)
• Query shell modal (:) — a larger, focus-anywhere textbox for composing bigger filters, mirrored into the query box on submit

UX

• Keybinding help popup (?) — generated live from the same config that drives the bottom status bar, so it never drifts out of sync
• Small floating CPU/RAM monitor HUD
• Keyboard-driven throughout — no mouse required

Platform

• Cross-platform: works the same on macOS, Linux, and Windows (config/log paths resolve to the user's home directory regardless of OS or drive)
