Easily connect to PostgreSQL and get right to building

Retool connects directly to your PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL tables. For example, you can render users from Postgres into a table and add a button that, when clicked, runs an SQL query and marks that user as approved.

The PostgreSQL GUI you’ve always wanted

The PostgreSQL GUI you’ve always wanted

Query your Postgres data via raw SQL, or use Retool's GUI wrapper to safely write, update, and delete without accidentally dropping tables. You can also inspect your schema, save and share queries, and run ad hoc analyses quickly. Pull queries into a text or table component for easy reference and inspection.

I tell every technology leader I talk to that they should look at Retool as a way to reduce the burden of building admin UIs and democratize that kind of stuff across their company.

Retool provides the building blocks for any internal tool

Whether you're building a basic CRUD interface or using our PostgreSQL IDE to build frontend dashboards, internal tools have the same building blocks: tables, text boxes, drop-downs, etc. Retool gives you a simple way to connect these building blocks with PostgreSQL (and dozens of other [data sources](https://retool.com/integrations/ "Retool Integrations")) so you can build and ship internal tools in hours, not days.
