What the desktop app adds

  • Files of any size

    Workbooks and CSV files are read from your disk where they are, with no browser memory limit.

  • Straight into your database

    Load into PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB or SQLite, including a database you reach over a VPN.

  • Jobs you run again

    Save a file's settings and where it goes, then run it again when the file changes.

  • Converted on your computer

    Files are converted on your computer, and database passwords stay in its keychain.

Load a file in three steps

  1. 1

    Add your database

    Its host, port, database and user, or a SQLite file. The password goes to the system keychain.

  2. 2

    Open the file

    Drop a workbook, CSV or JSON file. The sheet, the header and every column's type are found, with each fix marked.

  3. 3

    Load it

    Pick the database and load. The table is created with the right types; if the load fails, the table it made is dropped.
