Recern Workspace
Recern Workspace is a desktop app for understanding databases. It connects to PostgreSQL, Redis, Valkey and Dragonfly, opens Recern Vector files, and shows what each one is doing: activity, locks, slow queries, memory, and findings that point to the view that explains them.
Production connections open in Safe Mode, where the console can read but cannot change data.

MongoDB, ClickHouse, MySQL, SQLite and more are coming. See all databases.
