Retool is a low-code platform for building internal tools, admin panels, and operational dashboards connected to company data.
Retool lets engineering and operations teams assemble internal applications from prebuilt UI components, queries, and workflow blocks. Builders connect databases, APIs, and SaaS systems to ship admin consoles, approval flows, and support tools quickly.
The product targets enterprises that need secure internal software faster than custom full-stack development, placing it adjacent to visual no-code platforms focused on customer-facing apps.
