A table-first Firestore workflow
A native Firestore GUI for Mac
Browse collections as tables, filter loaded rows, inspect exact Firestore types, and review staged changes before writing.
Filter and inspect loaded documents
Use inferred columns for the current loaded rows, then inspect a document in Fields, JSON, or Diff without flattening Firestore-specific types.
Stage, review, then apply
Edits enter one pending queue. Check every document path and field-level change before a connected write.
Scope and limits
Know what this workflow does.
- Filtering and export operate on documents already loaded in the workspace.
- Connected projects start read-only; production writes require a temporary unlock.
- Cengal is a Firestore client, not a replacement for Firebase Auth, Storage, Analytics, or AI tooling.
