Zedis (Fork)

A High-Performance, GPU-Accelerated Redis Client Built with Rust 🦀 and GPUI ⚡️

This project is forked from vicanso/zedis.

I really love the UI design of this client — it's built on GPUI (the rendering engine behind Zed Editor), making it incredibly fast and visually appealing. However, the feature development pace of the original project is a bit slow for my needs, and submitting PRs requires the original author's review which feels cumbersome. So I decided to fork it and maintain my own version with the features I need.

📖 Introduction

Zedis is a next-generation Redis GUI client designed for developers who demand speed.

Unlike Electron-based clients that can feel sluggish with large datasets, Zedis is built on GPUI (the same rendering engine powering the Zed Editor). This ensures a native, 60 FPS experience with minimal memory footprint, even when browsing millions of keys.

📦 Installation

Download the latest pre-built binaries from the GitHub Releases page.

Available platforms: macOS (aarch64 / x86_64), Windows, Linux.

✨ Features

🚀 Blazing Fast

• GPU Rendering: All UI elements are rendered on the GPU for buttery smooth performance.
• Virtual List: Efficiently handle lists with 100k+ keys using virtual scrolling and SCAN iteration.

🧠 Smart Data Viewer

Zedis automatically detects content types (ViewerMode::Auto) and renders them in the most useful format:

• Automatic Decompression: Transparently detects and decompresses LZ4, SNAPPY, GZIP and ZSTD data, allowing you to view the actual content (e.g., compressed JSON will be automatically unpacked and pretty-printed).
• JSON: Automatic pretty-printing with full syntax highlighting for better readability.
• MessagePack: deserializes binary MsgPack data into a readable JSON-like format.
• Images: Native preview for stored images (PNG, JPG, WEBP, SVG, GIF).
• Hex View: Adaptive 8/16-byte hex dump for analyzing raw binary data.
• Text: UTF-8 validation with large text support.

🛡️ Secure Access

• SSH Tunneling: Securely access private Redis instances via bastion hosts. Supports authentication via Password, Private Key, and SSH Agent.
• TLS/SSL: Full support for SSL/TLS encrypted connections, including options for custom CA, Client Certificates, and Private Keys.

🎨 Modern Experience

• Cross-Platform: Powered by GPUI, Zedis delivers a consistent, high-performance native experience across macOS, Windows, and Linux.
• Smart Topology Detection: Automatically identifies and adapts to Standalone, Cluster, or Sentinel modes. Just connect to an entry node, and Zedis handles the topology mapping without complex configuration.
• Themes: Pre-loaded with Light, Dark, and System themes.
• I18n: Full support for English and Chinese (Simplified).
• Responsive: Split-pane layout that adapts to any window size.
