Redis key browser
Find Redis keys by pattern, read each value by type, see when keys expire, and switch between numbered databases.
Redis is not a table-and-row database. It stores keys, and each key holds one value. Because of that, Querly does not show a grid for Redis. It opens a key browser built for how Redis works.
Connect
Press ⌘N, choose Redis, and enter the host and port (the usual port is 6379). TLS and SSH tunnels work like any other connection. See Create a connection and TLS, SSH, and cloud auth.
Browse keys
- The key list is on the left and the value inspector is on the right. Pick a key to read its value.
- Filter by pattern. Type a name or a pattern, and the list narrows to matching keys. The header shows how many keys match and how many are loaded.
- Numbered databases. A Redis server has numbered databases (
db0,db1, and so on). Use the database picker to switch, and the total key count is shown for the one you are in.
Querly never runs the slow KEYS * command. It reads the keyspace in pages of 200 with SCAN, and every call runs in the background, so a server with millions of keys stays responsive. Choose Load more to fetch the next page.
Value types
Redis keys can hold different kinds of values, and Querly reads each kind with the right command.
| Type | What it is |
|---|---|
| string | One piece of text, a number, or raw data |
| list | An ordered list of values |
| set | A group of unique values |
| sorted set | A set where every value has a score, kept in score order |
| hash | A group of named fields and values, like a small record |
| stream | An append-only log of entries |
Expiry
Each key shows whether it expires. You will see "expires in …" with the time left, or "no expiry". This is the key's TTL (time to live).
Large values
The inspector loads a bounded amount of a value, so opening a huge key cannot freeze the app. When a value is longer, choose Load the full value to read it all.
