CacheDeck

Manage your Redis, Valkey and KeyDB servers from your iPhone, without putting production at risk. CacheDeck is built for developers, DevOps and SRE on call. Connect over TLS, through an SSH tunnel or bastion, and against Cluster or Sentinel. Inspect keys, run commands and fix problems in seconds, while production credentials never touch someone else's server. WHY CACHEDECK • Trust-first. Your credentials stay on your device and never leave it. There is no backend, no proxy, no traffic relay. Your connection goes straight from your phone to your server. • Safety on each command. CacheDeck reads the command name and arguments before it sends anything. Destructive operations (FLUSHALL, FLUSHDB, CONFIG SET, mass DEL and more) need a type-to-confirm step that shows the exact target. Costly operations carry a warning. Set a connection to read-only and unlock writes when you mean to. • Built for mobile networks. Reconnect with backoff, path-aware monitoring of Wi-Fi and cellular handoffs, and specific errors in place of an endless spinner. • A production badge marks each risky action, so you know which server you are about to touch. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Connect over TLS, an SSH tunnel or a bastion host, with a Face ID app lock. • Inspect a self-signed or custom-CA certificate fingerprint and accept it per connection. • Browse the keyspace with SCAN, in a list or a namespace tree, and skip KEYS * for iteration. • Read and edit String, Hash, List, Set, Sorted Set and Streams, with TTL, type and size in view. • Run a command in the Workbench. CacheDeck classifies the input before it runs. • Watch live Pub/Sub channels and inspect Streams with consumer groups. • Work with Cluster and Sentinel: slots, masters, replicas and topology health. • Explore Redis Stack: JSON documents, search indexes and time series. • Analyze server state: memory breakdown, slow log and tips you can act on, plus full INFO diagnostics. PRIVACY • Local-first. Your hosts, passwords and ACL users stay on your device, in the iOS Keychain. • No secrets in logs. CacheDeck keeps passwords, hostnames, key names and values out of its logs. • Crash & error reporting is on by default and can be turned off in Settings. Reports are scrubbed and never include key names, values, hostnames or credentials. • No tracking, no IDFA and no advertising identifiers. CacheDeck is foreground-first. It fits hands-on inspection and operations rather than always-on background monitoring. FREE VS PRO CacheDeck is free to try, with a real, usable free tier, not a locked demo. • Free: connect over TLS, SSH tunnel or bastion, and to Cluster or Sentinel; browse the keyspace with SCAN (list or tree); inspect values of every type with TTL, type and size; run read-only and diagnostic commands; and read full INFO. • Pro unlocks operating: write and DDL commands, destructive actions, the Workbench command runner, value editing, export and multiple saved connections. "CacheDeck Pro" is a one-time unlock. No subscription, no ads, no account required. CacheDeck is tested with Redis® Community Edition 8, Valkey™ and KeyDB over RESP2/RESP3.
