Weavit UI — a cross-platform Weaviate desktop client

Showcase
1

Hi everyone :waving_hand:

I’ve been building Weavit UI, a free and open-source desktop GUI for Weaviate, and
just cut the first public release. Think MongoDB-Compass-style tooling, but for your Weaviate
instances — connect to any local, self-hosted, or Weaviate Cloud cluster and work with your
data visually.

What it does

  • :electric_plug: Connections — local, Weaviate Cloud, or fully custom (separate HTTP + gRPC host/port),
    API-key or anonymous auth. API keys are encrypted at rest with your OS keychain.
  • :card_index_dividers: Schema & collections — browse the schema tree, inspect per-collection config, and
    create/delete collections.
  • :page_facing_up: Data — paginated object browser with structured + raw-JSON views, named vectors,
    multi-tenancy, and insert / edit / delete.
  • :magnifying_glass_tilted_right: Search — nearText, nearVector, BM25, and hybrid, with a visual filter builder and
    target-vector selection.
  • :gear: Admin — cluster meta & modules, node status, and a raw GraphQL / REST console.

Built with Electron + React + TypeScript, using the official weaviate-client v3 in the
Node process (so gRPC works properly) behind a locked-down IPC bridge.

Hi everyone,

Weavit UI 1.0.1 — macOS fix

If you downloaded 1.0.0 on an Apple Silicon Mac and hit “Weavit UI is damaged and can’t be opened,” that was a packaging bug on our side, not a bad download. The build shipped with a broken code signature, which macOS blocks outright — there’s no way past it from the UI.

1.0.1 fixes the packaging: Release 1.0.1 · XenoraAI/weavit-ui · GitHub

Nothing else changed. If 1.0.0 already ran for you, there’s no reason to update.

First launch still needs a one-time approval, since these are unsigned community builds. Open the app, dismiss the warning, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to Security, click “Open Anyway,” and enter your Mac password. You won’t be asked again.
