Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Big-screen workspace • Byson now adapts to larger screens with a dedicated 3-column workspace: connections, databases and collections, and a full collection workspace (Documents, Query, Indexes, and Schema side by side). • Uses the whole display instead of a stretched, scaled-up layout. • All orientations supported on larger screens. More secure connections • Custom CA TLS: trust self-signed or private-CA servers by pasting your CA certificate. • X.509 client-certificate authentication (MONGODB-X509), including over an SSH tunnel. Fixes and polish • Number-pad fields (app passcode setup, index TTL) now have a Done button, so the keyboard always collapses. • Layout and stability improvements.
