    Overview

    Grist is a powerful, customizable data tool that combines the versatility of spreadsheets with the robustness of databases.

    Grist takes data management to the next level by letting you build relational spreadsheets with zero code.

    Just import your data, link records across tables—and voilá! You’ve got yourself a customizable document that’s easier to move through than a cereal box maze.

    Choose from a variety of column types, embed images or files, and give your data structure with filter bars that toggle on click.

    Custom data layout

    Customize your data with a layout that’s best for your workflow!

    While Grist is a powerful data processing platform, the intuitive UI makes it simple to navigate. Customize the layout of each page with drag-and-drop widgets on an app-like dashboard.

    Feeling overwhelmed by all the details you have to manage? Not to worry! Grist helps you see the big picture.

    You’ll be able to simplify large or complex data sets into visual summaries of key points and turn tables into condensed info cards.

    You can also dig into your data with dynamic charts and reports that update as you click through.

    Dynamic data charts

    Drill into data with dynamic, colorful charts and reports that update as you click!

    Grist provides granular access controls for each file, so you decide who can view and edit your data.

    Specify access settings all the way down to the column or row level. Set your special permissions then go ahead and collaborate with your team in real-time.

    Want to share your data externally? Just enable link sharing, then copy and send the link to select third parties.

    With Grist, you’ll also get open-source software, automatic backups, and no data lock-in to satisfy your inner control freak.

    Custom access permissions

    Collaborate with your team and share data with custom access permissions!

    In the Document History tab, you’ll see all earlier versions of the document, with the option to save a copy of the old version, return to, replace, or compare to the current version.

    Grist is coding-optional, but coders can have fun, too: Use Python and review all logic of your document in one place with Code-View. Or, just use Excel-like spreadsheet functions.

    Grist also blends in with your ecosystem by letting you integrate with Zapier or use APIs to sync to external sources for custom integrations.

    Export tables as a CSV, to Google Sheets, or download the entire relational database as a SQLite file. Grist is perfect for CRM, invoicing, investment analysis, and more.

    Code view

    Utilize code-view to analyze data in Python or Excel spreadsheet formulas!

    Managing the minutiae of your business can leave you swamped with so much data that you don’t know what to do with it. (“I need a spreadsheet to organize all my spreadsheets.”)

    Grist takes your data management to the next level (or row/column) with a customizable spreadsheet-database platform that makes your life way easier.

    Make sure all your data lines up.
