Grist
Open-source spreadsheet + database.

- What is Grist?
- Grist is an open-source hybrid of a spreadsheet and a relational database, available hosted or self-hosted.
- What does it do?
- Organises data into linked tables with typed columns and Python formulas, then lays out pages of grids, cards and charts over them. Supports row-level access rules, CSV and Excel import, and an API for automation.
- Who is it for?
- Analysts and operations teams that outgrew spreadsheets but do not want to build an app, and nonprofits, government and research groups that need data on their own servers.
- What are the alternatives to Grist?
- Airtable is the hosted incumbent with a larger app and automation ecosystem. NocoDB, Baserow and Teable are the other open-source options; Google Sheets remains a plain spreadsheet.
