Zovo Pro: USD 19 once, every Zovo tool. Here it adds 2 Pro tools: Memory Analysis and Bulk TTL and Delete. The key tree, every editor, the console, cluster and sentinel stay free.
Redis Client & Redis GUI for VS Code (Valkey Client for Keys, TTL, Streams, Cluster and Sentinel)
Free, no sign-in, no telemetry. The extension talks only to the Redis servers you add. Works with Redis, Valkey and KeyDB, on a single node, a cluster or a sentinel set, with TLS and ACL users.
- Key tree: keys load with
SCAN in pages (never KEYS *), grouped into folders by :. Filter by pattern and by type. A database with a million keys stays responsive.
- Editors for every type: strings (text, JSON view, hex for binary values), hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets in a paged grid, streams with consumer groups and pending entries, RedisJSON documents. Add, edit, delete (with a question first) and rename. Set or remove the TTL.
- Binary safe: keys and values stay bytes from the server to the editor and back. A key with bytes that are not text shows as
\xNN and every write goes to that exact key.
- Big values: a string over 5 MB opens as a size message with "Show the first 64 KB" and "Save to a file", never a frozen editor. Collections load 200 rows at a time.
- Cluster and Sentinel: list the cluster nodes, or the sentinels and the primary name. After a failover the client follows the new primary.
- Clear errors: a failed connection names the step: DNS, TCP, TLS or AUTH, with a hint. No "Something was wrong".
- Console with history (↑ ↓) and Tab completion of command names.
FLUSHALL, FLUSHDB, KEYS, DEBUG and SHUTDOWN ask first.
- Server info: memory, hit rate, keyspace, every
INFO section, the slow log and connected clients, per node in a cluster.
- Pub/Sub: subscribe to a channel or a pattern and watch messages arrive live; publish a test message.
- Export and import: keys matching a pattern to JSON and back, binary safe, with TTLs.
- Read-only switch per connection: writes are refused before they reach the server.
- Remote SSH and Dev Containers: the extension runs where your workspace runs, so a Redis inside the container or on the remote network is reachable as
localhost or by its service name.

Get started
- Click the Redis icon in the activity bar, then Add Connection.
- Paste a URL (
redis://user:password@host:6379/0, rediss://… for TLS, redis+sentinel://host:26379/mymaster) or fill in the form. Test connection shows each step.
- Expand the connection and a database, then click a key.
Right-click a connection for the console, server info and pub/sub. Right-click a database or a folder to filter, add a key, export or import.
Why this one
Recent reviews of the most installed Redis extensions for VS Code name these problems (quotes from the Marketplace review pages):
| Review |
What this extension does |
| "Doesn't support Redis-Sentinel. Doesn't support Redis-Cluster" (Redis for VS Code reviews, Oct 2026) |
Connects to a cluster (keys are scanned on every primary) and through sentinels, and follows a failover. |
| "Doesn't support remote development (SSH, DevContainers, Tunnels, etc.) … You just get an error message that says 'Something was wrong!'" (same page, Mar 2025) |
Runs in the remote extension host, and every error names the step that failed. |
| "nags you to sign up for the cloud service" (same page, Oct 2025) |
No account, no sign-up prompt, no cloud service. |
| "A paid Redis client in 2022 is just an awful idea" (Redis by cweijan reviews) |
Every feature above is free. Two extra tools are Zovo Pro (below), each with 3 free tries. |
It is also on Open VSX for Cursor, Windsurf and VSCodium.
Zovo Pro (optional)
Two tools for people who run Redis in production. Each can be tried 3 times for free; nothing else changes.
- Memory Analysis: samples keys with
MEMORY USAGE and shows the biggest keys, the key patterns that use the most memory (user:*:session) and the memory by type. Open the report as Markdown.
- Bulk TTL / Delete by Pattern: set a TTL on, remove the TTL of, or delete every key that matches a pattern. A dry run lists the matching keys first; nothing changes until you confirm.
Zovo Pro is USD 19 once and unlocks the Pro tools in every Zovo extension: pay by card, on GitHub Sponsors (the "$19 one time" tier) or with PayPal. Hide the Pro tools with the setting redisClient.showProFeatures.

Privacy and network
- Connections go only to the hosts you add. Nothing connects when VS Code starts; a connection opens when you expand it.
- Passwords are kept in VS Code's secret storage. Connection settings (without passwords) are kept in VS Code's global storage on this computer.
- No telemetry, no analytics, no account. The Zovo Pro unlock asks GitHub one question, only after you click Unlock.
Support Zovo
Zovo extensions are free, with no ads and no tracking. They are made by theluckystrike on GitHub. If this one saves you time, you can support the work:
Open a format request with a sample file, and I reply there whether it can be done. For USD 299 once, through this GitHub Sponsors tier, I add your file format or a missing feature to this extension, with tests, within 7 days.
