Redis
Redis GUI with BullMQ monitoring built in
Browse Redis keys, run commands, and monitor BullMQ queues — without switching between Redis Insight and Bull Board. RowDex is a native desktop Redis GUI that also handles your SQL and document databases.
Redis Features in RowDex
Key browser
Browse Redis keys with pattern filtering. View strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets with proper formatting.
BullMQ queue monitor
Auto-discover BullMQ queues on your Redis connection. See waiting, active, delayed, and failed jobs. Retry failures and clear stalled jobs.
Command console
Run raw Redis commands with autocomplete. Great for quick GET/SET operations or debugging scripts.
TTL and memory info
See TTL, memory usage, and encoding for each key. Identify keys consuming excessive memory.
Pub/Sub monitoring
Subscribe to Redis channels and watch messages in real time — useful for debugging event-driven systems.
Multiple Redis databases
Switch between Redis DB indexes (0-15) in one connection. Most apps use DB 0, but some separate cache and queues.
Connection Options
- Direct TCP connection to Redis servers
- Redis over TLS (rediss://)
- SSH tunnel for private Redis instances
- AWS ElastiCache and MemoryDB
- Upstash, Redis Cloud, and other managed services
- Local Redis via Docker or Homebrew
Common Redis Use Cases
- Debugging cache invalidation issues by inspecting key TTLs
- Monitoring BullMQ job queues during deployment
- Retrying failed background jobs without restarting workers
- Clearing stale session keys during development
- Inspecting rate-limiting counters and leaky bucket keys
Why Not Just Use Other Redis Tools?
Redis Insight
Redis Insight is Redis-only and Electron-based. RowDex is lighter (Tauri) and also handles Postgres, MySQL, and MongoDB.
Bull Board
Bull Board requires setting up a separate web server. RowDex monitors BullMQ directly from your desktop — no deployment needed.
redis-cli
redis-cli is powerful but text-only. RowDex adds visual key browsing and BullMQ dashboards.
Medis
Medis is Mac-only and doesn't support BullMQ. RowDex runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux with queue monitoring.
FAQ
Does RowDex support Redis Cluster?
RowDex connects to standalone Redis and Sentinel setups. Full Redis Cluster support is on the roadmap.
Can I monitor BullMQ queues in production?
Yes. Use read-only connection mode to safely inspect production queues without accidentally modifying data.
Is BullMQ monitoring free?
BullMQ is included on Standard tier. Request beta access or start with Basic for SQL and MongoDB.
Does RowDex support Redis Streams?
Basic stream viewing is supported. Full XREAD/XRANGE commands work in the console.
