Admin panels custom-built for your team — shipped in hours, not months

Build purpose-built admin panels on top of real data — with the UI you need, the governance your security team requires, and none of the overhead. Connect to PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, BigQuery, REST APIs, and more. Ship in hours, not months.

  • Engineering governs. Everyone else can execute.

    Expose only what each role needs to see and do. Queries and write operations are defined by engineering; business teams get a clean UI to work in. Granular permissions, audit logs, and SAML SSO are built in.

  • One place, one interface. Empower every team to query your data.

    Stop juggling a different console for every database and API. Pull data from Postgres, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Shopify, Salesforce, and REST APIs into a single admin panel — with filtering, pagination, search, and full CRUD.

  • Your apps: custom-fit, not generic

    Every admin panel has unique requirements — user approval flows, feature flag management, and KYC review. Retool's drag-and-drop builder and 100+ pre-built components let you configure exactly the right UI, with JavaScript for anything that needs custom logic.

Everything you need to build, ship, and govern admin panels

Native connections to any data source

Native integrations with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, DynamoDB, BigQuery, Redshift, Firebase, Google Sheets, Shopify, REST APIs, GraphQL, gRPC, and more. One panel can combine data from multiple sources.

Complete drag-and-drop component library

Tables with built-in sorting, filtering, and pagination. Search inputs, buttons, dropdowns, forms, tabbed containers — all pre-built, all composable. No frontend engineering required.

Full CRUD with safe write access

Read, create, update, and delete records through the UI. Write operations are query-controlled, so teams can only make changes engineering has explicitly allowed.

Complete governance, not just permissions

Per-user and per-group permissions restrict who can see, edit, or trigger actions on specific data. Full audit logs record who did what and when — critical for compliance in regulated industries.

Enterprise-grade authentication

SAML SSO and 2FA out of the box. No additional configuration needed to meet enterprise security requirements.

AI-assisted panel generation

Describe what you need — a user management interface, a CRUD panel for DynamoDB, an approval workflow — and Retool generates a schema-aware starting point. Engineers refine and deploy; no one builds scaffolding from scratch.
