Hey Product Hunt! š
My actual workflow: I get a lot of CSV/Excel files (many from college), and I want to analyze them with ChatGPT/Claude. Two things always annoyed me:
1. I want to control exactly which rows/columns I hand to the AI ā not upload the whole file blindly.
2. I just want a quick sum of some numbers without writing =SUM() first.
So I made LazySheet, a fast, local-first desktop viewer for spreadsheets. Local-first means your files never leave your machine ā no upload, no cloud, no account, no telemetry. It even works fully offline. The only thing that ever leaves your computer is the exact range you choose to copy into the AI. That's the whole point: you decide what the model sees.
The features I actually use:
- Copy as Markdown ā select a range, copy, paste into the AI. Clean table, model reads it perfectly.
- Instant aggregates ā select cells, the sum shows up. No formula needed.
- Opens big files fast ā only renders visible rows, so 100MB CSVs don't lag.
- Column filters, group-by summaries, find-in-sheet.
Reads .xlsx / .xlsm / .xls / .csv / .tsv. Free, runs on macOS / Windows / Linux.
