# GridCraft

> GridCraft is an Excel-style spreadsheet from the ArtCraft team, written in Rust (v0.7.0, 14 Oct 2026). Its README calls it alpha and estimates it is about 50% ready for real work. XLSX is the native format and CSV/TSV are supported; .xls opens values, formulas and number formats only, and XLSB/ODS import data only. No documents, slides or co-editing. Installers for Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD and the web; MIT or Apache-2.0. Not affiliated with Microsoft.

## What it replaces
- Microsoft 365: Spreadsheets (Excel) (partial). Alpha; the README estimates it is about 50% ready for real work and file compatibility is still rough. Spreadsheets only.
