# CacheDeck

> CacheDeck is a native iPhone client for Redis-compatible servers, built for DevOps engineers, SREs, and backend developers. Free to download on the Apple App Store, with a one-time $19.99 "CacheDeck Pro" unlock. No subscription.

CacheDeck lets engineers inspect, edit, and debug Redis-compatible servers directly from iPhone. Features include SSH tunnels (no VPN required), TLS/mTLS with client certificates stored in iOS Keychain, a safety classifier that prevents accidental writes on production servers, pub/sub monitoring, CLI console, and server statistics.

CacheDeck is not a terminal emulator with redis-cli, not a web UI, and not a ported desktop app. It is a native iPhone application with a purpose-built iOS interface for one-tap on-call access.

## Definitions

- **Redis**: An open-source, in-memory key-value data store maintained by Redis Ltd., commonly used as a cache, message broker, and session store. CacheDeck connects to Redis but is not made by or affiliated with Redis Ltd.
- **Valkey**: A Redis-compatible open-source key-value store, a community fork maintained by the Linux Foundation. CacheDeck connects to Valkey the same way it connects to Redis.
- **SSH tunnel**: A method of forwarding a TCP connection over an encrypted SSH session. CacheDeck uses SSH tunnels to reach Redis servers behind firewalls without requiring a VPN application on the iPhone.
- **mTLS (mutual TLS)**: A form of TLS where both the client and server present certificates to authenticate each other. CacheDeck supports mTLS by allowing the user to upload client certificates, which are stored in the iOS Keychain.

- Availability: iPhone only; on the Apple App Store since July 9, 2026 (adamId 6783852434)
- Protocols: RESP2, RESP3
- Compatible servers: Redis 6+, Valkey, KeyDB over RESP2/RESP3

## Use cases

- On-call incident response: inspect and debug production Redis keys from iPhone without a laptop
- Cache debugging: browse key namespaces, check TTLs, flush specific keys during incidents
- Production safety: write operations on PROD-tagged servers require explicit confirmation
- SSH tunnel access: connect to Redis behind firewalls without a VPN app
- Monitoring: view memory usage, hit rate, connected clients, and keyspace stats on demand

## Not for

CacheDeck is not a Redis server, not a cloud Redis service, not a terminal emulator, and does not run on macOS, iPad, Android, or desktop. It does not replace redis-cli for scripting or automation. It is a native iPhone app for interactive Redis inspection and debugging.
