Intact CSV Editor Protects the Data Behind the Spreadsheet
A native Mac editor for CSV, Excel, JSON, Parquet, SPSS, and other data formats that aims to preserve values, encodings, and file structure during editing.
Field notes
The homepage demonstrates its central promise with a 231-byte customer file containing UTF-8 text, CRLF line endings, leading zeros, fractions, accented names, and long identifiers. Its spreadsheet comparison reports 16 of 18 values changed after automatic conversions, while the Intact example reports zero changes and shows a matching SHA-256 prefix after saving. The site also describes SQL querying, validation, and export to formats ranging from Parquet and SPSS to PDF and Word.
