Your data stays yours

1bench runs entirely on your machine. Nothing is ever sent to us.

100% Local

Credentials and data never leave your machine.

Zero Telemetry

No usage tracking, no query logging, no analytics.

Direct Connection

Straight to your database, nothing in between.

Built for Milvus

1

Server Overview

Instant on-connect snapshot: version, mode, node status, collection count, index sizes. Milvus health surfaced without a separate dashboard.

2

Visual Vector Search

Paste embeddings and search with L2, IP, or cosine distance. Tune nprobe / ef / other index-specific params inline, preview results with distances.

3

Similarity by ID

Server-side recommend-by-id lookup: find nearest neighbors to any existing entity without needing its raw embedding. Great for recommendation systems.

4

Create Collection with Vector Config

Visual wizard for collections with vector fields (dimensions, distance metric), scalar fields, and index config (HNSW, IVF_FLAT, IVF_SQ8, DISKANN).

5

Collection Browser & Schema View

Browse entities as tables or as document cards. Inspect vector dimensions, scalar field types, and index status per collection at a glance.

6

Partition Management

Create, list, and manage partitions to shard vector data by any key. Useful for multi-tenant embeddings or time-series partitioning.

10x your Milvus productivity

Stop switching between CLI and code. Manage everything visually.

Vector Search

Run similarity searches with L2, IP, or cosine distance. Tune params inline, preview results with scores.

Collection Browser

Browse collections and view entities with vector embeddings and scalar fields in one paginated table.

Index Management

Inspect index config, choose HNSW / IVF_FLAT / IVF_SQ8 / DISKANN at collection creation, and rebuild in place.

Create Collection

Create collections with vector fields (dimensions, distance metric), scalar fields, and index config.

Drop Collection

Remove collections safely with typed confirmation, dependency checks, and staged delete before commit.

Partition Management

Create, list, and manage partitions to shard vector data by any key. Useful for multi-tenant embeddings.

Import Data

Import entities with vectors and metadata from JSON or CSV files, with field mapping and preview.

Export Data

Export collection data as JSON or CSV. Filter, project, and rename fields directly from the dialog.

Collection Schema

Inspect collection schemas with vector dimensions, data types, and per-field constraints and metadata.

Similarity by ID

Recommend-by-id lookup: find nearest neighbors to any existing entity without needing its raw embedding.

Cloud Support

Connect to any managed Milvus service or self-hosted cluster. gRPC over TLS with credentials supported.

Production Safe

Read-only mode, destructive-action confirmations, and per-connection ACL checks keep production safe.

Query History

Every search and query you run is saved per connection. Search, filter, and re-run past queries fast.

Multiple Tabs

Work across Milvus collections and connections in parallel. Each tab keeps its own browsing and query state.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Navigate collections, run searches, switch tabs, and manage connections without ever reaching for the mouse.

Not just Milvus

One tool for all your databases. No more juggling apps.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Milvus GUI?
A Milvus GUI is a visual desktop client that lets you browse collections, inspect vector embeddings, run similarity searches, and manage indexes without writing raw SDK calls. 1bench is a modern Milvus GUI for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Does Milvus have a GUI?
Milvus ships Attu, its official web-based admin UI for collection and index management. For teams wanting a desktop experience with persistent connections, visual vector search, and multi-database workflow, 1bench works alongside on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
What is the best Milvus GUI for Mac, Windows, or Linux?
A good Milvus GUI should run natively on your OS, connect over gRPC, and let you browse collections, inspect embeddings, and run similarity search with distance metrics and index parameters. 1bench delivers all of this with a single download for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Can a Milvus GUI connect to managed Milvus and self-hosted clusters?
Yes. Any Milvus GUI that speaks the gRPC protocol works with managed Milvus services and self-hosted clusters, including Milvus Standalone and distributed deployments. 1bench connects using your host, port, and credentials, with TLS support for secured clusters.
Can a Milvus GUI run vector search and manage indexes?
Yes. A full-featured Milvus GUI lets you run similarity search with L2, IP, and cosine metrics, tune search parameters like nprobe, and create or drop indexes on any vector field. 1bench surfaces all of this in a visual editor with live result previews.
