BysonDB v1.1.5
π LeafBase is now BysonDB
This release is a full rebrand β LeafBase has been renamed to BysonDB. Same free, open-source MongoDB GUI, same features, same data format. Only the name changed.
π The project now lives at https://github.com/vutranHS/byson. The old
leafbaserepository has been archived.
β οΈ Existing LeafBase users β please read
Because the app's identity changed, BysonDB is treated as a brand-new application:
- No auto-update from LeafBase. Your old LeafBase install will not update to BysonDB automatically β download BysonDB manually once from the assets below. From v1.1.5
onward, BysonDB auto-updates normally. - Your old data stays with the old app (saved connections, query history, and settings are not carried over automatically).
π§³ Migrating your data
Simplest path: just re-add your connections in BysonDB. To keep your saved query tabs:
- Open old LeafBase β Workspaces β Export (saves a
*_workspace_*.jsonfile). - Open BysonDB β Workspaces β Import that file.
Old data folder (safe to delete after you've moved over):
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/leafbase - Windows:
%APPDATA%\leafbase - Linux:
~/.config/leafbase
