visidata

Visidata views tabular data files in the terminal.

VisiData is a useful tool for peeking at data files, supporting CSV, Parquet, and other tabular data formats. In addition to viewing a file, you can compute histograms / frequency tables, filter and pivot data, etc.

You can install it from PyPI (with uv or pip) or from Conda / Pixi.

Note

VisiData is useful to have installed in your personal computing environments, such as with brew install visidata or uv tool install visidata. It is also useful as a dev dependency in projects where you want it to be easily available to your collaborators.
