Redis & Valkey Explorer for VS Code
A full-featured Redis and Valkey GUI client extension for Visual Studio Code. Browse keys, edit all data types, manage TTLs, monitor pub/sub channels, and connect to standalone, sentinel, and cluster deployments — all without leaving your editor.
Features
Connection Management
- Standalone, Sentinel, and Cluster modes
- Save multiple connection profiles — switch with one click
- Passwords and TLS credentials stored in VS Code SecretStorage (never in plaintext)
- TLS support — SNI, certificate verification, client auth
Key Browser
- Tree view grouped by
: delimiter with flat-list toggle
- Incremental SCAN pagination (never blocks with
KEYS *)
- TTL badges — yellow when < 60 s, red when < 10 s
- Right-click a group folder to delete all keys under that prefix in one click
