News 25th Apr, 2025: Tablecruncher goes Open Source!

Features

⚡

Open files bigger than 2GB and containing more than 15 million rows. Opening a 100MB CSV file with more than 500,000 lines takes less than 5 seconds on a dual-core Macbook Pro.

⌨

Use Javascript as a macro language to manipulate your CSV files. A simple API gives you access to all cells and you can change cell content as well as do abitrary calculations.

➟

Export your table data to JSON. The exported JSON is an array-of-objects if there's a header row present in your CSV data. Otherwise you'll get an array-of-arrays.

🗃

Automatically detects most CSV file formats and file encodings for you. If you want, you can easily override the automatic detection and choose the appropriate CSV parameters.

📄

Open and save CSV files with one of these encodings: UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) and Windows 1252 files. (These list will be extended in future updates.)

🔎

Use the powerful Find and Replace dialog to search for patterns in your table or in a selected area. Regular Expressions according to the ECMAScript 5 standard are supported.

🎨

Enjoy crunching your data with four beautifully designed color themes, including a dark theme that fits well with the Mac's dark mode.

𝌘

Flag rows manually or with the Find and Replace dialog and export flagged rows as a new CSV file.

𝌅

Modify your CSV data grid easily. You can sort lines alphabetically or numerically, move columns right or left or delete columns. Or set your first CSV row as a header row.
