Why use Superintendent.app?

	Comparison
Superintendent.app Excellent for working with CSVs	Easy installation Easy to use Supports large files Installed with a single click, the UI-based app is purposefully built for your productivity. You can build your reports within seconds. In addition, it supports large CSV files e.g. importing 1GB file in 10 seconds.
Spreadsheet apps Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets	Easy installation Easy to use Supports large files Spreadsheets like Excel and Google Sheets are clunky with SQL and don't support CSVs larger than 1 million rows.
Database tools DBeaver and MySQL Workbench	Easy installation Easy to use Supports large files This alternative requires a database setup and often offers a myriad of unnecessary functionalities (e.g. configuring database) that get in the way for users who work with CSVs.
Command-line tools csvkit and q	Easy installation Easy to use Supports large files This alternative often requires Python setup. Managing multiple CSVs and SQLs in a terminal is clunky. While the tools don't impose a file size restriction, they are not performant when handling large files.
Databases SQLite and DuckDB	Easy installation Easy to use Supports large files Managing multiple CSVs and SQLs directly in a database's terminal is extremely clunky, even more clunky than using a command-line tool.

What other people said

I was looking for such software few weeks ago. Thanks. Really helpful.

Neat tool: write SQL that runs over CSV files and results in a CSV output. Like OpenRefine, but more modern with standard SQL. Yes, SQLite can probably do this fairly easily, but I'm a sucker for single-purpose tools that make a particular workflow clean. superintendent.app
