Build a MySQL GUI Frontend
Retool connects directly to your MySQL database and gives you a drag-and-drop GUI to build internal tools with our intuitive client in minutes, not days. Create your dashboards, CRUD apps, simple IDEs, and admin panels today.
Connect to your MySQL database in minutes
Retool connects directly to your MySQL database (via a connection string or regular credentials) and lets you run raw SQL (or issue commands via a GUI) to manage the data in your MySQL tables. For example, you can render users from MySQL into a Table component and add a button that, when clicked, runs an SQL query and marks that user as approved.
Build internal tools on top of MySQL
Retool gives you a drag-and-drop GUI for building internal apps that makes it easy to perform the actions you need without doing anything destructive. No need to worry about errant DROP DATABASE commands getting you paged late at night.
Ship faster with 50+ React components
Retool gives you access to a library of 100+ pre-built UI components packed with functionality like tables, buttons, and text inputs. Skip the headache of searching for the right front-end templates and build your app in minutes.
