genericName: collaborative spreadsheet
longDescription: |
Grist is a hybrid database/spreadsheet, meaning that:
- Columns work like they do in databases: they are named, and they hold one kind of data.
- Columns can be filled by formula, spreadsheet-style, with automatic updates when referenced cells change.
This difference can confuse people coming directly from Excel or Google
Sheets. Give it a chance! There's also a [Grist for Spreadsheet
Users](https://www.getgrist.com/blog/grist-for-spreadsheet-users/) article
to help get you oriented. If you're coming from Airtable, you'll find the
model familiar (and there's also our [Grist vs
Airtable](https://www.getgrist.com/blog/grist-v-airtable/) article for a
direct comparison).
Here are some specific feature highlights of Grist:
- Python formulas.
- Full [Python syntax is supported](https://support.getgrist.com/formulas/#python), including the standard library.
- Many [Excel functions](https://support.getgrist.com/functions/) also available.
- An [AI Assistant](https://www.getgrist.com/ai-formula-assistant/) specifically tuned for formula generation (using OpenAI gpt-3.5-turbo or [Llama](https://ai.meta.com/llama/) via [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python)).
- A portable, self-contained format.
- Based on SQLite, the most widely deployed database engine.
- Any tool that can read SQLite can read numeric and text data from a Grist file.
- Enables [backups](https://support.getgrist.com/exports/#backing-up-an-entire-document) that you can confidently restore in full.
- Great for moving between different hosts.
- Can be displayed on a static website with [`grist-static`](https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-static) – no special server needed.
- A self-contained desktop app for viewing and editing locally: [`grist-electron`](https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-electron).
- Convenient editing and formatting features.
- Choices and [choice lists](https://support.getgrist.com/col-types/#choice-list-columns), for adding colorful tags to records.
- [References](https://support.getgrist.com/col-refs/#creating-a-new-reference-list-column) and reference lists, for cross-referencing records in other tables.
- [Attachments](https://support.getgrist.com/col-types/#attachment-columns), to include media or document files in records.
- Dates and times, toggles, and special numerics such as currency all have specialized editors and formatting options.
- [Conditional Formatting](https://support.getgrist.com/conditional-formatting/), letting you control the style of cells with formulas to draw attention to important information.
- Drag-and-drop dashboards.
- [Charts](https://support.getgrist.com/widget-chart/), [card views](https://support.getgrist.com/widget-card/) and a [calendar widget](https://support.getgrist.com/widget-calendar/) for visualization.
- [Summary tables](https://support.getgrist.com/summary-tables/) for summing and counting across groups.
- [Widget linking](https://support.getgrist.com/linking-widgets/) streamlines filtering and editing data. Grist has a unique approach to visualization, where you can lay out and link distinct widgets to show together, without cramming mixed material into a table.
- [Filter bar](https://support.getgrist.com/search-sort-filter/#filter-buttons) for quick slicing and dicing.
- [Incremental imports](https://support.getgrist.com/imports/#updating-existing-records).
- Import a CSV of the last three months activity from your bank...
- ...and import new activity a month later without fuss or duplication.
- Integrations.
- A [REST API](https://support.getgrist.com/api/), [Zapier actions/triggers](https://support.getgrist.com/integrators/#integrations-via-zapier), and support from similar [integrators](https://support.getgrist.com/integrators/).
- Import/export to Google drive, Excel format, CSV.
- Link data with [custom widgets](https://support.getgrist.com/widget-custom/#_top), hosted externally.
- Configurable outgoing webhooks.
- [Many templates](https://templates.getgrist.com/) to get you started, from investment research to organizing treasure hunts.
- Access control options.
- (You'll need SSO logins set up to make use of these options; [`grist-omnibus`](https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-omnibus) has a prepackaged solution if configuring this feels daunting)
- Share [individual documents](https://support.getgrist.com/sharing/), workspaces, or [team sites](https://support.getgrist.com/team-sharing/).
- Control access to [individual rows, columns, and tables](https://support.getgrist.com/access-rules/).
- Control access based on cell values and user attributes.
- Self-maintainable.
- Useful for intranet operation and specific compliance requirements.
- Sandboxing options for untrusted documents.
- On Linux or with Docker, you can enable [gVisor](https://github.com/google/gvisor) sandboxing at the individual document level.
- On macOS, you can use native sandboxing.
- On any OS, including Windows, you can use a wasm-based sandbox.
- Translated to many languages.
- `F1` key brings up some quick help. This used to go without saying, but in general Grist has good keyboard support.
