An application development platform that enables developers to combine the benefits of traditional software development with a drag-and-drop UI editor and AI to build internal tools radically faster. Deploy it anywhere, connect to any internal service, import your libraries, debug with your toolchain, and share it securely to users to ensure good and well-governed software by default.
At daily.dev, we use Retool to speed up our internal tooling and build admin dashboards with minimal effort. What’s great about Retool is that it gives us the flexibility to create complex, functional apps without having to reinvent the wheel every time. The drag-and-drop interface lets us quickly build UIs, but it’s still powerful enough to handle custom code when we need it.
It's a really great application and has saved us a ton of time getting internal admin pages written for our applications. We're a team of three and things like admin pages always get pushed aside for revenue-generating features. Retool allowed us an easy way to stand up needed tooling.
I'm using it to build a small back office tool, using the Free version and it is fantastic. Mainly using it to integrate via API and no issues at all. It offers great flexibility and you can do "whatever you want" in terms of customisation. Great low code tool - highly recommended.
Very useful tool, with a robust feature set. I've run into a handful of undocumented or poorly documented bugs in my short time using the product however, so I can't give it 5 stars. Also, there are a few UX things that are a little annoying (such as all form elements, in any form, sharing the same namespace for data keys).
