Retool

Platform for building internal tools, apps and AI agents on your data

Retool is a developer-focused platform for building internal tools such as admin panels, dashboards and back-office apps. You drag components onto a canvas, connect them to databases and APIs, and write JavaScript or SQL where needed, with AI that can generate apps and agents that automate tasks. It runs in the cloud or self-hosted, with SSO and audit logs for enterprises and a free plan for small teams.
