Availability

Nothing to install yet. Here is the honest status.

The macOS and iOS apps are feature-complete for 1.0, but the release checklist, signing identity, and store listings are still open. The source builds today.

macOS

macOS 14 or later

Status: in development

The full editor: format detection, structural editing, sorting, large-file mode, export. The release build is 2.7 MB, written in pure Swift. An App Store listing will follow the 1.0 release checklist.

iOS and iPadOS

iOS 17 or later

Status: in development

A touch-first editor with contextual row and column actions, filter cards, and the same CSV core. The release build is 2.5 MB. Run it in the simulator with a single script command.

Requirements

What you need to build it.

The app is generated with XcodeGen and built with Xcode; there is no CocoaPods or SwiftPM dependency tree to fetch.

macOS 14 or later, iOS 17 or later
Xcode 27.1 with Swift 6.4
XcodeGen 2.46, installed with Homebrew
Python 3 for the version script only
Disk space for a 5 GiB benchmark file if you run the large-file tests

Open source

MIT, all of it.

The CSV core, the SwiftUI shell, the AppKit grid, the iOS grid, and the tests are in one repository. No license server, no telemetry, no open-core asterisk.

Star on GitHub Issues and pull requests

If TabTool saves you a spreadsheet detour, a star is the cheapest way to help other people find it.
