# Custom URL Scheme

Medis supports `medis:` and `mediss:` URLs for quickly opening Redis connections.

For example, `medis://localhost:6379` will open Medis and connect to the server at `localhost` on port `6379`.

You can specify the database index via the path. For example, to switch to database 2, you would use `medis://localhost:6379/2`.

Username and password are also supported. Use `medis://username:password@localhost:6379` to include both username and password, or simply `medis://password@localhost:6379` if you want to omit the username.

`mediss:` is similar to `medis:`, but it enables SSL for a secure connection.
