A spreadsheet built for Mac
Native Metal rendering via gpui.
Apple Silicon native. No Rosetta.
Keyboard-driven. Zero Electron.
VisiGrid is a native macOS application — not a web wrapper, not an Electron port. It renders directly on your GPU via Metal and runs natively on Apple Silicon.
Your spreadsheet should be as fast as your Mac.
Universal binary · Apple Silicon + Intel
Spreadsheets on Mac are an afterthought
Google Sheets runs in a browser tab. Excel is an x86 binary running through Rosetta. Numbers is fine for invoices.
Every serious spreadsheet on Mac is either a web wrapper that drains your battery, an Electron app pretending to be native, or a legacy port that ignores macOS conventions.
They don't use your GPU. They don't respect your keyboard shortcuts. They don't feel like they belong on your machine.
Your Mac has a Metal GPU, a unified memory architecture, and the best trackpad ever made. Your spreadsheet should use all of it.
VisiGrid is built for macOS from the ground up. Not adapted. Not ported. Built.
Native GPU rendering
VisiGrid renders through Metal via gpui — the same GPU framework that powers the Zed editor. Every pixel is drawn on your GPU, not in a web view.
Scrolling is instant. Input latency is imperceptible. A 100,000-row sheet scrolls as smoothly as a 100-row sheet.
No Chromium. No WebKit. No DOM. Just Metal shaders drawing directly to your display.
gpui is Zed's open-source GPU application framework for macOS.
Apple Silicon native
VisiGrid ships as a universal binary — native arm64 for Apple Silicon, native x86_64 for Intel. No Rosetta translation. No performance penalty.
On M-series chips, the engine runs on performance cores while the UI renders on efficiency cores. Battery life stays where it should.
Install via Homebrew or download the DMG. Either way, you get a native binary that launches in under a second.
Mac-native experience
⌘S saves. ⌘Z undoes. ⌘, opens settings. The shortcuts you expect, where you expect them.
VisiGrid integrates with Finder: double-click a .sheet file to open it, drag and drop files onto the window, use Open With from the context menu.
Dark mode follows your system preference. The window chrome is native. It feels like it belongs on your Mac because it was built for your Mac.
When it matters
Finance on MacBooks
Model portfolios without throttling your fans. Metal rendering means your M-series chip barely wakes up.
Large datasets
100K+ rows without lag. GPU rendering handles what browser-based spreadsheets choke on.
Mac-standardized teams
A spreadsheet that works like every other native app on your team's machines. No browser tabs, no Electron quirks.
Developers
Install with Homebrew. Automate with the CLI. A spreadsheet that fits your workflow, not the other way around.
