Re-Redash
A browser extension (and bookmarklet) that makes Redash significantly less painful to use every day.
Install
Two ways to get it. The Chrome extension is the cleanest experience. The bookmarklet works even if your company blocks extension installs.
Chrome extension
Auto-runs on every Redash page. Recommended if you can install extensions.
Setup instructions →Bookmarklet
No install needed. Works even if extensions are blocked. Click once per session.
Re-RedashHow to add
- 1 Show your bookmarks bar — Cmd+Shift+B on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+B on Windows
- 2 Drag the Re-Redash button above into the bookmarks bar
- 3 Open any Redash query page and click the bookmark — features activate instantly
The problem
At Blinkit, our analytics team lives in Redash all day. A few rough edges add up fast when you use a tool that heavily.
- —No auto-save. Reload the page and your query is gone.
- —No cell concept. With multiple queries in one editor, you can't run just one block.
- —Wide result tables with no way to hide columns you don't need.
- —Schema discovery means scrolling a sidebar — no fast jump-to-table search.
What it does
Notebook mode
A toggle button splits the editor into individual cells, one per query (separated by ;). Each cell has its own run button and keyboard shortcuts.
Query auto-save
Every keystroke is debounced and written to localStorage. Reload, navigate away, close the tab — your query comes back when you return.
Quick table search
Press Cmd+K anywhere on the page. Fuzzy search over all tables in the current data source. Hit Enter to instantly run SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 100.
Column visibility control
An eye icon on every column header lets you hide columns you don't care about. The data stays — the column just collapses.
Keyboard shortcuts
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Open / close quick search | Cmd/Ctrl + K |
| Execute current cell | Cmd/Ctrl + Enter |
| Navigate between cells | Ctrl + ↑ / ↓ |
| Add new cell below | Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + A |
| Duplicate cell | Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + D |
| Delete cell | Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Backspace |
