Application Management. Without Compromises.
Dogen generates custom admin UIs for managing your Firebase applications and their data. Nested objects, arrays, relationships, jobs, files, and more, managed in one tool with type-safe schemas and custom validations.
Application Data Management is Broken
Modern applications demand rich, interconnected data structures. But most data management tools force you into compromises that hurt your product and your team.
The All-Too-Familiar Story
You Start Simple
A basic database client works fine for your MVP. Raw JSON editing gets the job done.
Your Data Grows
More fields, nested objects, relationships. Your data becomes the backbone of your product.
Reality Hits
Application data management is a bottleneck. Do you move fast or do you move safely?
The Pain Points
The Tool Juggling
You're using multiple tools for managing different parts of your application. Some provide great features, but lack the necessary depth. Others, like database clients, provide depth and flexibility, but lack validations and quality of life features.
No Safety Net
Database clients validate on behalf of databases, not your business. The longer your team works with raw data, the more corruption creeps in—it's the classic case of garbage in, garbage out.
The Custom Code Trap
Aside from database clients, most data management tools require custom code in order to support nested objects and arrays. Therefore, you're forced to custom code solutions just to overcome basic tool limitations.
Tool-Driven Design Compromises
Over time, your data models start being influenced by tool limitations. Sometimes you purposely flatten a complex nested structure to make it easier to manage. Other times, the tool simply imposes its own structures upon you.
The Hidden Cost
Companies lose 15-25% of revenue annually due to poor data quality.

The Lesson
Data is the foundation of your product. When data management tools can't handle real-world complexity, your development velocity slows, bugs multiply, and user experience suffers.
You need tools that match the sophistication of your data.
The Dogen Way
An application management tool that finally gets data management right
Dogen represents a novel approach to application management. It combines lower level depth, power, and flexibility of database clients with higher level application context, validations, and quality of life features you've come to expect from modern tools.
Entity Schemas
Treat collections like real domain objects: users, restaurants, reviews.
Specialized Field Types
Email, Phone, Color, Image, PDF, HTML, GeoJSON, Diagram, Whiteboard, and more ...
Auto-Generated UIs
Get tailored forms based on your schemas automatically.
Custom Validations
Define business rules that protect your data integrity.
Dogen gives you complete data freedom. Design your data exactly how you envision it—nested objects, arrays, files, relationships—without compromise. You control every decision: store relationships as strings or references, IDs or full paths, files as binary data in Firestore or in Cloud Storage. Your data, your way.
See It In Action
From raw document data to entity management in minutes
Start with your existing raw document data.
Dogen allows you to manage collections, documents, fields, subcollections — all the normal Firestore operations
Add structure and validation where you need them.
Define Your Blueprints
You define exactly what your data should look like, using simple, configurable entity blueprints.
Request a Rebuild
When you're happy with your blueprints, request a client rebuild. Behind the scenes, Dogen will rebuild itself based on your blueprints. A minute or two later, you can seamlessly load the new version in one click and continue working.
Enjoy Your Custom Client
Enjoy an intuitive, custom experience without any of the headaches. At any time, you can modify your blueprints and request another rebuild.
The result? Application data management that actually makes sense
Your existing data stays exactly as is, but now you can manage it with structure, validation, and intuitive UIs that adapt to your needs.
Privacy, Security & Auditability at its Core
Dogen is architected from the ground up with security and privacy as fundamental principles.
One-Way Data Flow Architecture
Firebase Extension
Dogen Service
Flutter Web Client
Firebase Extension
Lives in your Firebase project. Sends only blueprint schemas to Dogen's service.
Dogen Service
Generates clients from the blueprint schemas and deploys them.
Flutter Web Client
Static JS web asset that talks only to your Firebase project.
Open Source Extension
Sensitive operations are performed using the Firebase Admin SDK through the Dogen Firebase Extension. It's code is open source, reviewed, and approved by Firebase's team.
Security Rules Enforcement
The client is registered as a Firebase application, and uses Firebase's Client SDK, respecting your security rules just like all your other Firebase applications.
100% Data Privacy
Your actual data never leaves your Firebase project. Dogen only receives schema definitions—the blueprint, not the content.
100% Auditability
Monitor all operations in real-time through your browser's Network tab. Every request made by the client is visible and auditable.

The Backstory
Born from real pain points building production systems
Before Dogen, my team and I built a payment gateway and credit card vault that handled millions of secure transactions. A key part of the system was a JSON based configuration layer responsible for things like banks, currencies, and country-specific rules. It worked brilliantly.
But managing it was a different story. Building a dedicated management tool kept getting pushed aside for more urgent tasks. As a result, every update required us to manually edit raw JSON in the production database. It was risky, stressful, and a poor use of engineering time.
That experience stuck with me. While JSON and schemaless NoSQL databases are ideal for creating rich, complex data models, the tools to effectively manage this complexity haven't kept up. I built Dogen to close that gap, offering structure, validation, and a dependable way to interact with your data.
