Build applications on top of your Google Sheets data with Retool, using native integrations and ready-made components.
Build custom applications on Google Sheets
Google Sheets is good for storing data, but not for building interactive interfaces. Connect your sheets to Retool and build interfaces that read and write your data.
Build apps on Google Sheets with ready-made components
Build your CRUD application with pre-built UI components like tables, buttons, and text inputs, instead of building the front end from scratch.
Build on your own data
Connect your data
Retool connects to your databases, third-party services, and anything with a REST or GraphQL API. Browse the integration library for the full list.
Generate with AI agents
Describe the app you want in Retool's builder, or build from your own tools with MCP or the Retool CLI. AI agents generate it against your real data.
Keep your controls
Every app ships with your organization's SSO, permissions, and audit logging already applied.
