Zedis
A High-Performance, GPU-Accelerated Redis GUI Client Built with Rust 🦀 and GPUI ⚡️
---
## 🤔 Why Zedis?
Tired of Electron-based Redis clients that eat gigabytes of RAM just to display a JSON string, or freeze entirely when you accidentally click a key with 100,000 elements? We were too.
**Zedis** is built from the ground up for developers who demand native performance. Powered by **GPUI** (the same revolutionary rendering engine behind the [Zed Editor](https://zed.dev)), Zedis delivers a native, buttery-smooth 60+ FPS experience with a minimal memory footprint—even when navigating massive databases.
## ✨ Killer Features
### 🚀 Blazingly Fast & Native
- **GPU Rendering**: Every pixel is drawn on the GPU. Experience zero-lag scrolling and instant tab switching.
- **Virtual Lists**: Fearlessly browse instances with millions of keys. Virtual scrolling combined with `SCAN` iteration ensures your UI never blocks.
- **Cross-Platform**: A truly native feel across **macOS**, **Windows**, and **Linux**, complete with Light, Dark, and System themes.
### 🧠 Smart Data Viewer
Stop manually decoding your data. Zedis automatically detects (`ViewerMode::Auto`) and formats your payloads on the fly:
- **Auto-Decompression**: Transparently unpacks `LZ4`, `SNAPPY`, `GZIP`, and `ZSTD` data.
- **Rich Content Decoding**:
- **JSON & RedisJSON**: Full read/write support with pretty-printing and syntax highlighting. Smartly computes RFC 7396 Merge Patch diffs to send minimal `JSON.MERGE` commands instead of heavy document overwrites.
- **Protobuf & MessagePack**: Zero-config binary deserialization into readable JSON-like formats.
- **Media & Hex**: Native preview for images (`PNG`, `JPG`, `WEBP`, `SVG`, `GIF`) and an adaptive 8/16-byte Hex dump for raw binary.
- **Custom Script Viewer**: Pipe any Redis value through an external shell command for fully custom decoding. Configure a shell command template with placeholders (`{KEY}`, `{VALUE}`, `{HEX}`, `{RAW_FILE}`) and Zedis runs it via `sh -c` (Unix/macOS) or `cmd /c` (Windows), displaying stdout as the formatted value. Perfect for base64, custom binary protocols, or any tool in your `$PATH`. Key patterns are matched by exact, prefix, suffix, or regex rules per server.
- **Hash Field-Level TTL** (Redis 7.4+): Set individual expiry times on specific hash fields using `HEXPIRE` / `HPERSIST` — no need to restructure your data model just to expire a subset of fields.
### 📊 Real-Time Observability
Transform how you monitor your Redis instances with a built-in, GPU-accelerated dashboard.
- **Live Metrics**: Beautifully rendered, real-time charts for CPU, Memory, and Network I/O.
- **Memory Analyzer**: Visually hunt down **BigKeys** and optimize storage efficiency to prevent OOMs.
- **Deep Diagnostics**: Track Slowlogs, monitor live `MONITOR` streams with powerful keyword filtering, and manage active clients (`CLIENT LIST/KILL`) via an intuitive GUI.
### 🛡️ Enterprise-Grade Security & Productivity
- **Read-Only Mode**: Lock down connections to prevent accidental writes in production environments.
- **Advanced Tunnels**: Full support for TLS/SSL (custom CA, client certs) and SSH Tunneling (Password, Private Key, SSH Agent).
- **Integrated CLI**: A built-in terminal for `redis-cli` allows you to leverage your command-line muscle memory without leaving the app.
- **Namespace Tree View**: Automatically groups keys separated by colons (`:`) into an easily manageable nested directory tree structure.
