One governed platform for every app your teams build.
Give homegrown tools and vibe-coded apps a safe, governed platform.
Teams of all sizes use Retool
Built for platform teams, loved by developers
Stop rogue tool sprawl and shadow IT
Give homegrown tools and vibe-coded apps a governed, centralized platform.
Build your platform foundation—reusable, extensible, governed
Compose apps using approved resources that automatically inherit your security, data access, and design standards.
Build with full code control, not from scratch
AI generation + visual canvas + direct React—choose the right abstraction for each task.
Production-ready from first prompt
Generate apps on your actual production data, in your cloud, with security built in from day one.
Build and govern every internal tool across your stack from one platform.
Set standards once with reusable components. Ship production-ready tools using approved resources—no security review bottleneck, no one-off apps to maintain
Admin panels & dashboards
Build unified operational views across your microservices, databases, and APIs. Real-time data, write-back capabilities, and access controls are enforced by default.
Platform benefit: Standardize dashboards with shared components and approved data connections.
Internal tooling & developer portals
Create self-service platforms for teams to provision resources, manage configurations, and monitor services—without custom React apps.
Platform benefit: Build the tool-builder so teams can self-serve while inheriting your security and design standards through reusable modules and templates.
Workflow automation & orchestration
Automate cross-system processes, data pipelines, and operational workflows with visual builders and custom code when needed.
Platform benefit: Encode best practices into reusable workflow templates. Developers compose automations from approved building blocks with full auditability.
From chaos to control: the governed internal tools platform
Replace scattered, ungoverned tools with one sanctioned platform.
- Centralize internal app development on one governed platform with enterprise controls
- Transform shadow IT into sanctioned innovation—developers ship fast through approved channels
- Stop AI code without guardrails—developers use AI acceleration with your standards built in
Platform teams create guardrails once. Developers build at speed.
- Create reusable, approved libraries and themes—encode your security, data access, and design standards once
- Apps automatically inherit platform standards—no per-app security retrofitting or design inconsistencies
- Git-based version control built in—every change tracked, reviewed, and reversible
Choose the right abstraction for each task. No walls, no lock-in.
- AI prompting without the black box—generate from natural language
- Visual builder for rapid shipping—focus updates for accuracy and efficiency
- Full flexibility through React—no limitations when sophistication demands it
Build on production systems with security and compliance from day one.
- Connect directly to your APIs, databases, and microservices—with centrally managed credentials
- Deploy in your cloud or ours—your security controls, your network policies
- Apps connect to actual schemas—relevant, contextual results from the first prompt
Resources
