In plain English

RedisDesktopManager (now called RESP.app) is a graphical desktop application for browsing and managing Redis databases. Redis is a very fast in-memory data store used by many web applications to cache data, manage sessions, or handle queues, but it is typically accessed via command-line tools, which is not always convenient. This app gives you a visual interface instead: connect to a Redis server and browse its keys, view and edit values, and run commands through a GUI rather than a terminal. The project has since been acquired by Redis (the company) and continues under the RESP.app name.
