Solve spreadsheet problems

No more spreadsheet bloat, Excel file consolidation or sprawling Google Sheets dashboards. Grist is the modern, open source relational database spreadsheet software used by IT professionals.

Beyond the grid

Too many data workflows depend on spreadsheet version control — on ever-growing shared folders or even over email.

Grist is built to solve these problems.
