About CacheDeck

Who built this

CacheDeck is built by Vladimir Chemeris, an indie iOS developer with a background in backend infrastructure and DevOps tooling. CacheDeck is a solo project: one developer, one app, one use case.

CacheDeck started during on-call rotations. The only way to inspect a Redis server from a phone was to open a terminal emulator, manually SSH into a bastion host, and run redis-cli from there: a multi-step workflow under pressure at 2 AM. A native iPhone app that handled the SSH tunnel internally and opened in one tap with saved credentials didn't exist, so it got built.

What CacheDeck is

CacheDeck is a native iOS app for inspecting, editing, and debugging Redis-compatible servers. It connects over direct TCP, SSH tunnel, or TLS, with certificates stored in the iOS Keychain and private keys protected by the Secure Enclave. It requires no cloud account, no subscription, and no external client.

CacheDeck focuses on one platform (iPhone), one use case (on-call Redis access), and one pricing model (one-time purchase, all future updates included). There is no desktop version, no SaaS platform, and no Android app.

Engineering principles

  • Privacy by default. CacheDeck has no analytics SDK, no backend, and no account system. Your Redis credentials, private keys, and connection hostnames never leave your device.
  • Native iOS, not a web wrapper. Every interaction in CacheDeck is implemented using native iOS APIs and SwiftUI. There is no embedded web view, no Electron-equivalent, and no cross-platform framework.
  • Safety for production. Write operations on PROD-tagged connections require explicit confirmation. This is a deliberate design constraint: mobile access to production systems carries different risks than desktop access.
  • One-time purchase. Developer tools should not be rented. CacheDeck is $14.99 once. Every future update ships to existing customers at no additional cost.
