What is tiny-rdm?

Tiny RDM is a free desktop app for browsing and managing Redis databases. Redis is a fast in-memory data store commonly used by developers to cache data, manage user sessions, or queue background jobs, but it has no built-in visual interface. Tiny RDM fills that gap with a graphical UI that lets you browse keys, view and edit values, run commands, and monitor activity without typing Redis commands by hand. The app runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Rather than bundling a full browser engine, it uses a lighter system-level web view, which keeps the download size and memory footprint small. It supports dark and light themes, includes translations for multiple languages, and integrates the Monaco editor (the same text editor used inside VS Code) for editing values with syntax highlighting. Connecting to Redis is straightforward. Beyond direct connections, Tiny RDM supports SSH tunnels, SSL, Sentinel mode (for high-availability setups), Cluster mode, HTTP proxies, and SOCKS5 proxies. All standard Redis data types are covered: Strings, Lists, Hashes, Sets, Sorted Sets, and Streams, with full create, read, update, and delete support for each. The app loads large key sets in segments rather than all at once, so it works well on databases with millions of keys. For teams or situations where a desktop install is not practical, Tiny RDM also ships as a Docker image with a web interface accessible via a browser at a local port. The web version is configured with a username and password and behaves the same as the desktop app. Data import and export, publish/subscribe monitoring, slow log viewing, and a command history log are included in both versions.
