RedisExplorer

Redis Explorer

Browse and edit the contents of a Redis server without ever leaving Visual Studio. Redis Explorer adds a dockable tool window — themed to match your VS color theme (Dark, Light, or Blue) — for connecting to Redis, exploring keys, and editing values with type-appropriate editors.

Connect your way

• Connect by host and port, with optional password authentication
• Pick any of Redis's 16 logical databases
• TLS/SSL support for Azure Cache for Redis, AWS ElastiCache, or any encrypted endpoint
• Live status indicator showing connection state, ping time, server version, and TLS status
• Save connections as named profiles for instant reuse — passwords are encrypted with Windows DPAPI, never stored in plain text

Browse with structure

Keys are automatically grouped into a hierarchy by their :-delimited segments (e.g. user:123:profile), so you can navigate large keyspaces like a folder tree instead of a flat list.

Edit every type, safely

Large collections (1,000+ elements) load read-only to prevent accidental edits to huge keys. Create new keys of any supported type directly from the tool window, and manage TTLs — set an expiry, persist a key permanently, or view time remaining — independent of saving.

Why Redis Explorer

• No context-switching to redis-cli or a separate GUI tool
• Matches your Visual Studio theme automatically
• Safe-by-default editing (duplicate/type validation, read-only guards on large collections, delete confirmations)

Requirements: Visual Studio 2022 (17.14+), a reachable Redis server (local or remote).
