Redis

Fast. Suspiciously fast.

Connecting

Field	Default	Notes
Host	localhost
Port	6379
Password		Optional
Database index	0	0 to 15

• URLs: redis://.
• There is no username field, so Redis ACL users other than default are not supported yet.
• TLS is not supported yet. A rediss:// URL is refused rather than connecting in plain text. To reach a remote Redis securely, use an SSH tunnel.

The Redis workspace

The header has the DB n · k keys menu to switch between databases 0 to 15, plus Health Check, Activity, Pub/Sub, Reload (⌘ R) and close.

Keys

Type a pattern like user:* to filter (Lily uses SCAN, about 500 keys at a time, with Load more). Keys are grouped into folders on :, and each shows its type: STRING, HASH, LIST, SET, ZSET or STREAM.

Values

Type	What you can do
String	Edit as text; JSON can be shown pretty-printed. Save with ⌘ S
Hash	Add, edit and delete fields
List	Add, edit and delete items
Set	Add and delete members
Sorted set	Add, edit and delete members and scores
Stream	View entries as a table and delete them

Each key loads in full. Delete key removes it, after confirming.

Expiry

The detail shows the TTL (no expiry, seconds left, or expired). Set expiry offers 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, or No expiry (persist).

Lily does not create new keys and has no command console yet; use redis-cli for that. Keys of module types, like RedisJSON, are not supported: do not edit them in Lily.

Pub/Sub

Subscribe to a channel to watch messages arrive (the last 200), and publish to it. Publishing is blocked on read-only connections.

Activity

• Slow commands from SLOWLOG, colored at 10 ms and 100 ms, with Clear log.
• Clients from CLIENT LIST, with Kill.

Refresh by hand.

Health Check

Big keys, keys without TTL, maxmemory, eviction policy, fragmentation and evictions. See Health Check.
