redis-eye is a lightweight GUI for Redis that starts a local web interface with a single npx command (v1.1.1). It is released irregularly on npm and provides a zero-config browser-based tool for browsing keys, viewing/editing data, managing connections, monitoring Pub/Sub, and viewing server info. Unlike CLI-based tools like redis-cli, it offers a visual interface with SCAN-based key browsing (safe for production), inline editing for strings/hashes/lists, bulk export, and read-only mode. Requires Node.js >= 18 and a running Redis instance.

redis-eye
✓ npx redis-eye
✗ npm install redis-eye && redis-eye
The package exports no JavaScript API; it is a CLI tool meant to be run via npx or global install. Local install without -g will not add the command to PATH.

Launches the redis GUI server and opens browser automatically at localhost.

npx redis-eye
Debug
Known issues
gotchanpm install redis-eye (without -g) installs locally and does not add redis-eye to PATH. Users may erroneously try 'redis-eye' after local install and fail.
fix
Use npx redis-eye or install globally with npm install -g redis-eye.
affects: >=1.0
gotchaThe GUI uses SCAN-based key listing by default, but users relying on KEYS may see incomplete results if they have a large number of keys and SCAN is used with COUNT.
fix
The tool intentionally avoids KEYS; SCAN is safe for production. Iterate over all keys using multiple passes if needed.
affects: >=1.0
gotchaPub/Sub monitoring uses SSE with a poll interval; messages may be lost if the server is overloaded or the connection drops temporarily.
fix
Ensure stable network connection; consider using dedicated monitoring tools for critical Pub/Sub.
affects: >=1.0
