## What it is
Medis is a beautiful, easy-to-use GUI application for managing Redis databases, built with Electron, React, and Redux. It supports key viewing/editing, SSH tunnels, a command terminal, JSON/MessagePack handling, and works with millions of keys without blocking the server.

## Use cases
- browse and edit redis keys with a gui
- manage redis cluster or sentinel setups visually
- connect to remote redis over ssh tunnel
- inspect  or messagepack values in redis
- run redis commands with autocomplete and highlighting
- safely edit production redis data with confirmation

## When to choose
- you want a polished native-feeling redis gui on mac or windows
- you need to work with large redis databases without blocking the server
- you need ssh tunnel or ssl connections to remote redis instances
- you want tree view, alert mode, and support for streams and redis

## When to avoid
- you need a command-line or scriptable redis tool
- you require redis versions older than 2.8
- you want a fully free open-source tool for all features (Medis 2 is commercial)
- you need a redis gui on linux (community Windows build exists; Linux is not officially provided)
