What it does
About less-sheet
less-sheet is a native, read-only viewer designed for spreadsheet-sized data on macOS and Linux. Engineered for efficient data inspection, it avoids loading entire files into memory, fetching only the data needed to populate the active viewing window. It reads plain or gzipped CSV files from local storage or streamed URLs while automatically detecting separators, quote characters, header rows, and encodings. Users can search file content or filter rows without creating accounts or transmitting telemetry data.
