Features

Command Palette

Access every action from a single searchable interface. No hunting through menus or memorizing obscure shortcuts. Type what you want to do, and do it.

Keybindings & Themes

Configure everything via JSON. Remap any shortcut, pick a color scheme, or build your own. Settings live in plain text files you can version control and share.

Multi-selection + Multi-edit

Select non-contiguous cells and edit them simultaneously. Hold modifier keys to build up complex selections, then apply transforms to all at once.

Inspector & Formula Diagnostics

See precedents and dependents at a glance. Toggle between raw formulas and computed values. Debug calculation chains without guessing.

FAQ

Is the Free version open source?
Yes. The Free edition is fully open source. Pro adds paid power features on top.
Do I need an account?
No. VisiGrid is local-first. Pro uses a license key, not a login.
What about telemetry?
Disabled by default. Opt-in only.
Is it compatible with .xlsx?
Not in v1. VisiGrid focuses on CSV and its own native format initially. XLSX import is on the roadmap for a future release, but full Excel compatibility is not a goal.
Does it support macros/VBA?
No. VisiGrid will never support VBA. Instead, we're building Lua scripting for automation. Scripts run in a sandbox and are version-control friendly.
Is it offline/local-first?
Yes. VisiGrid is a native desktop app. Your data stays on your machine. No cloud sync, no required accounts.
What platforms are supported?
Linux, macOS, and Windows. VisiGrid is built with Rust and uses native rendering. Same codebase, native performance on each platform.
