If your team lives in Excel files but not on Microsoft licences, this opens and saves them natively and covers 513 of Excel's 523 worksheet functions.
GridCraft is a from-scratch spreadsheet app written entirely in Rust, with native builds for macOS, Windows, Linux and BSD plus a WebAssembly version for the browser. It saves to .xlsx natively, imports CSV, TSV and some legacy .xls, XLSB and ODS files, and supports dynamic arrays, LET and LAMBDA, PivotTables, 17 chart types, conditional formatting and sparklines. An MCP server, a CLI and a JSON control channel let agents drive it. The team calls it alpha and rates it about half ready for real work.
