Every package Grist depends on, ranked by repo health score.
Grist is an open-source hybrid spreadsheet and database that gives teams the flexibility of a spreadsheet with the structure and rigor of a relational database. Every column is typed, references between tables are first-class citizens, and formulas are written in full Python with standard library access — making it far more capable than Excel or Google Sheets for teams managing complex, interrelated data.
Built around a portable SQLite document format, Grist stores every document as a self-contained file that any SQLite tool can inspect directly, making backups and migrations straightforward and vendor-independent. The platform deploys via Docker in minutes, supports S3-compatible external attachment storage, and integrates with OIDC, SAML, and the getgrist.com sign-in service for flexible authentication without running your own identity server.
Grist's access control system goes beyond simple sharing: owners can define row-, column-, and table-level rules based on user attributes and cell values, enabling secure partial-data sharing with external parties or contractors. A REST API with interactive console, Zapier integration, configurable webhooks, and SCIM user provisioning make Grist a connectable part of existing workflows rather than a data silo.
The platform is actively developed by Grist Labs with significant contributions from French government organizations (ANCT and DINUM), ensuring strong OIDC/SAML support, high-contrast WCAG AA accessibility, HTTP long-polling for restrictive networks, and S3 external attachment storage. Recent releases add Airtable import, sign-in with getgrist.com, and AI-powered formula suggestions compatible with OpenAI, Llama, and OpenRouter-compatible endpoints.
