Open Data Editor

The application provides a desktop environment for working with tabular data such as Excel, Google Sheets, and CSV files without requiring any programming skills. It automatically scans spreadsheets, highlights inconsistencies, and indicates the specific cells that need correction, allowing users to prepare datasets for publication or analysis more efficiently. The tool also includes a privacy‑focused AI assistant that can suggest fixes while keeping the user’s data confidential.

It is aimed at nonprofit organisations, data journalists, activists, public servants, and anyone who handles data but lacks coding expertise. By offering a gamified course on data quality through the School of Data, it seeks to improve data literacy among its users. The software is open source, free to download for macOS, Debian/Ubuntu, and Windows, and has been recognised as a Digital Public Good for meeting openness and sustainability criteria.
