A fresh take on Firebase admin
Delightful Firebase management for teams who ship together
See who's editing what. Auto-locks documents to prevent conflicts. Share queries and protection settings. All your Firebase data stays in your browser.And of course it's multi-project, multi-db, and fully tenant-aware.
Your data never leaves your browser
All Firebase operations execute client-side. Zero server-side API calls. Maximum security and privacy.
The Problem
Managing Firebase With a Team Is Broken
Firebase Console was built for solo developers. Your team deserves better.
You're Flying Blind With Your Team
Two developers editing the same production document? You won't know until it's too late. Firebase Console has zero team collaboration features.
One Wrong Click Breaks Production
No safety rails in Firebase Console. Delete a collection by accident and your weekend is gone. No warnings, no protection, no undo.
Every Query Starts From Scratch
That complex filter you wrote last week? Gone. Team knowledge lives in scattered scripts and Slack messages, not in a shared library.
Switching Databases Is a Pain
Managing multiple Firestore databases means juggling tools and configs. Firefoo can't even do this. You need a solution that just works.
See Who's Doing WhatIn Real-Time
Never step on your teammates' toes again. Firepug shows you exactly who's viewing what, with document locking to prevent conflicting edits. It's like Google Docs, but for Firebase.
Real-time presence indicators on every document and collection
Lock documents to prevent parallel edits that could conflict
Stop asking in Slack "is anyone editing this right now?"
Prevent Production DisastersBefore They Happen
Set three-level protection (none/warning/block) on any database. Team-synced settings mean everyone has the same safety rails. One wrong click won't delete your production data on Friday night.
Team-wide protection settings prevent accidental production edits
Visual indicators show protection level at a glance
Block or warn before dangerous operations on critical collections
Switch Between DatabasesInstantly
Managing multiple Firestore databases? Switch between (default) and custom named databases with one click. Firefoo can't do this at all.
One interface for all your Firestore databases
No config juggling or tool switching required
Works with both default and custom named databases
Save Queries Once,Reuse Forever
Build a team library of reusable queries. Personal queries for your experiments, shared queries for common tasks. Stop writing the same filters over and over.
Team-shared query templates save hours every week
Queries work across all projects and databases
Build institutional knowledge that doesn't live in Slack
