Business application

Grist

A relational spreadsheet with linked tables, Python formulas, forms and configurable views.

Why we recommend it

Choose it when a spreadsheet-based process needs clearer relationships and shared views without immediately becoming a custom application.

When to choose it

  • Operational registers, linked business lists, intake forms and small reporting tools.

What to consider

  • This is grist-core; the full edition adds features such as advanced admin controls and audit-log streaming.

Start with this project

Import a representative spreadsheet, split repeated data into linked tables and build one role-specific view.
