Redis Desktop Manager for Mac v2020.2.100 Redis Database Management Activated Version Download

Redis Desktop Manager (RDM) is a Redis database management tool that provides a graphical user interface (GUI). It greatly simplifies database access and operation processes, enabling developers to manage and maintain Redis data more intuitively and efficiently. As a widely recognized cross-platform client in the industry, RDM runs smoothly on Mac systems and is especially suitable for developers who need to frequently debug and monitor Redis instances. According to official documentation and community feedback, its stability and functional completeness are leading among similar tools.

1. Core Features

RDM offers the following main features to support daily Redis database management:

• Tree-view key browsing: Displays all keys in a clear tree structure for easy navigation and management. This view supports grouping by database index, allowing you to quickly locate target data.
• CRUD operations on keys: Supports basic operations such as create, read, update, and delete on key-value pairs. Each operation is equipped with shortcuts to improve efficiency.
• Memory usage analysis: Analyzes memory usage of the entire database or a selected namespace (requires Redis Server version ≥ 4.0). This feature is crucial for optimizing caching strategies.
• System status monitoring: Real-time view of currently connected clients, active publish/subscribe channels, and slow query logs. The slow query log feature is based on Redis native SLOWLOG command.
• Command-line execution: Provides a built-in command-line interface that supports direct execution of Redis commands. This means you can seamlessly switch between GUI and CLI operations.

2. Batch Operations and Advanced Features

RDM supports various batch operations, greatly improving data management efficiency, suitable for the following scenarios:

• Cross-database data copying: For example, copying data from production environment to development environment for debugging, or migrating projects to other cloud service providers. This feature supports both local and remote instances.
• Importing data from RDB files: Supports importing data from large RDB files and splitting it into multiple smaller Redis servers, or importing only specific subsets (such as user session data). Data format validation is supported during import.
• Batch TTL setting: Set expiration time uniformly for multiple keys. This is particularly useful for large-scale cache cleanup, avoiding manual one-by-one operations.
• Pattern-based key deletion: Use Glob patterns to match and batch delete keys that meet the criteria. For example, using the session:* pattern can quickly clear all session data.

5. Detailed Installation Tutorial for Mac

This installation tutorial is written based on macOS Ventura (13.x) and higher systems to ensure you can successfully complete the installation and activation of RDM. Please follow these steps:

Step 1: Download and Preparation

Download the RDM installer from the link provided on this page. The file is usually in .dmg format. After downloading, double-click to open the .dmg file.

Note: If the system prompts “Cannot open”, go to “System Preferences” > “Security & Privacy” > “General” and click “Open Anyway”. This is macOS’s default protection mechanism for unsigned applications.

Step 2: Install the Application

In the opened .dmg window, drag the “Redis Desktop Manager” icon to the “Applications” folder. This process takes about 30 seconds, depending on Mac performance.

After dragging, you can find the RDM icon in “Launchpad”. On first launch, the system may pop up a security prompt again; please select “Open”.

Step 3: Activation and Configuration

After launching RDM, the software enters trial mode. The version provided on this page has built-in activation mechanism, no additional serial number is required. If an activation window pops up, click “Skip” or “Register Later”.

Next, follow the “Language Setting Steps” above to switch the interface to Chinese for subsequent operations. It is recommended to also check the proxy and connection timeout settings in “Preferences”.

Step 4: Verify Installation

After opening RDM, click “New Connection” in the top left corner. Enter any Redis server address (e.g., local 127.0.0.1:6379) and click “Test Connection”. If “Connection successful” is displayed, installation and activation are complete.

6. FAQ

The following are the 5 most common user questions and answers, covering installation, usage, and troubleshooting:

Q1: After installation, RDM cannot open and shows “damaged”. What should I do?

A: This is usually caused by macOS Gatekeeper interception. Open the “Terminal” app and enter the command: sudo spctl --master-disable, then enter your password and press Enter. Try opening RDM again. If it still doesn’t work, check whether the installation package is completely downloaded.

Q2: “Connection refused” when connecting to Redis server?

A: First confirm whether the Redis server is started. Run redis-cli ping in Mac terminal; if it returns PONG, the server is normal. Then check the port number (default 6379) and firewall settings. If the server is remote, ensure the security group allows the port.

Q3: Does RDM support Redis 7.x?

A: This version (v2020.2.100) is mainly optimized for Redis 4.x-6.x. Although basic functions are still available on Redis 7.x, some new features (such as Redis Stack modules) may not be fully supported. It is recommended to upgrade to the latest RDM version for full compatibility.

Q4: How to back up connection configurations in RDM?

A: RDM connection configurations are stored in local files. The path is: ~/Library/Application Support/RedisDesktopManager/connections.json. You can directly copy this file for backup, or use the “Export Connections” feature to generate a JSON file.

Q5: Accidentally deleted data during batch deletion. Can it be recovered?

A: RDM itself does not provide a “recycle bin” feature. Once batch deletion is executed, data is directly removed from the Redis instance. It is recommended to back up relevant data using the “Export Keys” feature before performing batch operations. Additionally, ensure Redis has AOF or RDB persistence enabled to recover from snapshots.
