Zedis

The Redis GUI that opens your million-key database without the spinner — native, GPU-accelerated with Rust 🦀 and GPUI ⚡️

---

🤔 Why Zedis?

Tired of Electron-based Redis clients that eat gigabytes of RAM just to display a JSON string, freeze the instant you open a key with 100,000 elements, turn cluster mode into a chore, or render your compressed and binary values as garbled bytes? We were too.

Zedis is built from the ground up for developers who demand native performance. Powered by GPUI (the same rendering engine behind the Zed Editor), Zedis delivers a native, buttery-smooth 60+ FPS experience with a minimal memory footprint — even when navigating massive databases.

✨ Highlights

• 🦀 Native, not Electron — every pixel on the GPU, virtual-scrolled SCAN; millions of keys at 60+ FPS with tiny RAM.
• 🧠 Understands your data — auto-decompresses and decodes JSON/JSONPath, Protobuf, MessagePack, timestamps, images and hex, with purpose-built viewers for every Redis type and module.
• 📊 Real-time observability — live metrics, a memory analyzer with offline + AI recommendations, Slow Log ↔ Latency, MONITOR, and value search.
• 🔐 Privacy-first & safe — metadata stays in a local file, secrets are encrypted, and destructive actions escalate their confirms on production.
• 🌐 Connect anything — TLS/SSL, SSH tunnels, Cluster/Sentinel, Redis Insight import, and 8 UI languages.
• ⌨️ Built for power users — ⌘K command palette, redis-cli with completion, batch mode, and cross-server copy/diff.

Paste its database export and every connection lands at once — no re-entering hosts, ports, and passwords one by one. Point Zedis at your real setup in about a minute, then judge the speed for yourself.

📦 Installation

Ready to feel the speed? Install Zedis via your favorite package manager:

macOS

The recommended way to install Zedis is via Homebrew:

brew install --cask zedis

Windows

scoop bucket add extras
scoop install zedis

Linux (Arch)

yay -S zedis-bin

Cargo (Cross-Platform via Source)

Note: Zedis depends on an unreleased (git) version of GPUI, which crates.io doesn't allow — so the latest version can't be published to crates.io, and the crates.io build may lag behind. For the newest version, prefer Homebrew / Scoop / the AUR above or a release download; to build from source, use the --git command below.

# From crates.io — may be an older version (see note above)
cargo install --locked zedis-gui

# Latest: build straight from GitHub (resolves the git dependencies)
cargo install --git https://github.com/vicanso/zedis --locked zedis-gui
