The Fuego alternative with a built-in ODM and codegen
Browse, edit, and manage Firestore like you do in Fuego — then generate TypeScript types, security rules, and Cloud Functions from a schema you actually own.
Same data. More leverage.
The 30-second pitch
Everything you came for
Firestore data browser, query builder, document editing, bulk operations, import/export. The Firestore management you'd expect.
Plus the schema layer
Design your collections visually. Generate TypeScript types automatically. Catch drift between your code and production. None of this exists in Fuego.
Plus the codegen
One click: security rules from your field validations. Cloud Functions stubs that match your schema types. Stop writing boilerplate.
Side-by-side comparison
Fuego is solid at the basics. Firemap covers the basics plus the development platform.

Why developers switch
Three scenarios you've probably already lived through.
The drift moment
“I changed a field name in my code. Forgot to update the rules. Spent an hour debugging in production. Firemap would've flagged it before I deployed.”
The new-hire moment
“Onboarded a junior dev. He asked what the schema was. I sent him to the Firebase Console. He came back more confused. Now I send a Firemap link.”
The Cloud Function moment
“Wrote a Cloud Function that touched four collections. Three weeks later, one collection's shape had changed. The function broke silently. Firemap regenerates the function signatures when the schema changes.”
I'm currently on Fuego. What changes?
A short, honest section. We don't over-promise.

Frequently asked
Can I use Firemap alongside Fuego?▾
Yes. Firemap doesn't lock you in. Use Fuego for the workflows you've memorized and Firemap for schema work and codegen. Most users consolidate over time, but there's no pressure.
Will my Fuego workflows transfer?▾
Service account credentials are the same. Saved queries you'll need to recreate in Firemap.
Is the ODM free?▾
Yes. @firemap/sdk is open source (MIT) and works standalone with the Firebase Admin SDK or client SDK. You can use it without ever logging into Firemap.
How is Firemap different from a CMS like FireCMS?▾
CMSes are for non-technical content editors. Firemap is for developers building the app. Different audience, different workflow.
Why pick Firemap over Fuego specifically?▾
Fuego is a strong desktop GUI for Firestore. If a desktop GUI is all you need, Fuego is fine. Firemap is for projects where the GUI is just step one — and the schema, types, rules, and Cloud Functions all need to stay in sync.
Is Firemap web-based or desktop?▾
Web-based at firemap.dev — works on any OS, no install. Service account credentials never leave your browser; they're encrypted and used only for direct Firestore calls.
