How to view data in a local Couchbase Lite database?

Is cblite the only way to browse local data? DB Browser for SQLite shows body as BLOB. I come from Realm DB and there we had great browsing tool with the name Realm Studio.

# The `cblite` Tool

`cblite` is a command-line tool for inspecting and querying [LiteCore][LITECORE] and [Couchbase Lite][CBL] databases (which are directories with a `.cblite2` extension.)

For build instructions, see [BUILDING.md](BUILDING.md). For convenience, binaries are available in the [Releases](https://github.com/couchbaselabs/couchbase-mobile-tools/releases) tab.

> NOTE: The _source code_ for the tools is Apache-licensed, as specified in [LICENSE](https://github.com/couchbaselabs/couchbase-mobile-tools/blob/master/LICENSE). However, the pre-built [cblite](https://github.com/couchbaselabs/couchbase-mobile-tools/blob/master/README.cblite.md) binaries are linked with the Enterprise Edition of Couchbase Lite, so the usage _of those pre-built binaries_ will be guided by the terms and conditions specified in Couchbase's [Enterprise License](https://www.couchbase.com/ESLA01162020).

Official support of the `cblite` tool is not yet available. This applies also to the pre-built binaries that are linked with the Enterprise Edition of Couchbase.

## Changes

(For details on flags and subcommands, use the `help` command.)

#### June 2020:

* The Enterprise-Edition build can now open encrypted databases. Interactive mode will automatically prompt for a password; in one-shot mode you must add the `--encrypted` flag before the database name to get the prompt. A raw AES256 key can be entered at the password prompt as a 64-digit hex string.
* Added a `compact` subcommand that compacts the database. It can also prune old revisions and purge deleted documents.
* Added a `logcat` subcommand that displays CBL binary log files.
* Improvements to the `file` subcommand:

I know and I’m currently using cblite, but it is very cumbersome to use. Therefore my question:
exists any alternatives to cblite tool, maybe with GUI?
