I love exploring data, but it always felt clunky to juggle multiple tools, write code/commads, just to import and query a dataset. While there are multiple GUI tools for databases, none are focused on raw data.
TextQuery is the tool I built to solve that. You can import CSV, JSON, and XLSX files and start querying them instantly using SQL. Want to create a chart? Just hop over to the Visualize tab.
I'm also rolling out a major update this week — adding tabs, filters, a redesigned UI, and keyboard shortcuts.
Looking ahead, I’m planning to expand support for more formats (like Parquet and ORC) and data sources (like Postgres and BigQuery), so you can import data from anywhere, and query it right from your desktop. Something like a local data warehouse. With Apple Silicon, the capability of a desktop can make it very cost-efficient compared to something like BigQuery, Snowflake, or Athena.
