# Bussola

> Query, edit and aggregate your MongoDB databases from your iPhone. Direct TLS connection to Atlas or self-hosted servers: no backend, no account.

Bussola is an independent MongoDB client app for iPhone (not affiliated with MongoDB, Inc.). It embeds the official MongoDB Rust driver and connects straight from the phone to MongoDB Atlas or self-hosted deployments, so it works without the retired Atlas Data API and without any backend.
