Grist overview

What is Grist?

Grist is a cloud-based spreadsheet with the stability of a database and the usability and flexibility of a no-code app builder.

Grist transforms tables into easy-to-read cards, colorful charts and even allows users to create custom widgets. Analyze data using the usual spreadsheet formulas or the full power of Python.

Users collaborate in real time on one set of well-organized, relational data. Administrators can assign user access right down to the cell, making sure that everyone has appropriate permissions without duplicating information.

Extend your data with a REST API and webhooks into tools such as Zapier. No matter what, your data is always yours.
