Dashboards your team can act on — not just look at
Your data lives across databases, APIs, and warehouses, but your team is stuck in spreadsheets or read-only BI tools. Build dashboards that pull everything into one view — where teams can search, filter, update records, and take action. Connect any data source. Ship in hours, govern with confidence.

See everything and act from one place
Pull data from every source into a single view. Your team can look up, update, approve, and resolve — without jumping between tabs or filing an engineering ticket.
Build on your data, not someone else’s schema
Connect to whatever powers your business — Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, BigQuery, Snowflake, Firebase, REST APIs. Build a dashboard UI on top of it in hours, not months.
Go beyond charts — take action directly
Unlike read-only reporting tools, Retool dashboards are interactive. Approve a loan, process a refund, update a customer record — all from the same governed view where you spotted the issue.
Customized automation that evolves with your business “
Everything you need to build, ship, and govern dashboards that drive action
AI-assisted app generation
Describe the dashboard you need in plain language. Retool generates a working UI grounded in your actual schema, connected to your data sources. Engineers review, edit, and deploy — no black box.
Complete drag-and-drop component library
Tables, charts (powered by Plotly.js), text inputs, dropdowns, buttons, date pickers, tabbed containers — all prebuilt and composable. No frontend engineering required.
Native connections to any data source
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, BigQuery, Snowflake, Firebase, S3, Elasticsearch, REST APIs, GraphQL, and more. One dashboard can combine data from multiple sources.
Read and write from the same view
Query and display data, but also trigger updates, approvals, or actions directly from the dashboard. Your team can resolve issues where they spot them.
Search and filter built in
Text inputs, dropdowns, and date range pickers let teams look up individual records within aggregate views. Find any data point in seconds.
Drill down from summary to detail
Bird’s eye metrics at the top. Click into a row to get the full picture on a specific customer, order, applicant, or experiment.
Complete governance and access control
Control who can see what and who can take action. Queries and actions are locked down by engineering. Audit logs track every interaction for compliance.
Deploy anywhere — cloud or on-prem
For regulated industries that need full data control, deploy Retool on-prem within your own infrastructure. No external data movement required.
Common questions about dashboards
BI tools show you what happened. Retool lets you do something about it. Approve a loan, process a refund, update a record — directly from the same dashboard where you spotted the issue. You get visualization and action in one governed interface.
Yes. Retool connects natively to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, BigQuery, Snowflake, Firebase, Elasticsearch, REST APIs, GraphQL, and more. A single dashboard can pull from multiple sources simultaneously — no middleware required.
Most teams ship a working dashboard in hours. Describe what you need and Retool’s AI generates a schema-aware starting point connected to your data. From there, drag and drop components, wire up queries, and deploy. Engineers refine; no one builds from scratch.
Retool dashboards are fully interactive. Your team can search, filter, update records, trigger workflows, approve requests, and resolve issues — all from the same view. Write operations are query-controlled by engineering for safety.
Yes. Retool includes role-based access controls that restrict who can view specific data and who can take action. Audit logs track every interaction. For regulated industries, on-prem deployment is available for full data control.
No. The drag-and-drop builder and 100+ prebuilt components are designed for anyone who can write a SQL query. For more complex logic, JavaScript is available anywhere in the app — so engineering teams can extend as needed
