Rowboat is a browser application that lets you start visually exploring your data with no installation required. Your data stays private in your browser (at least until you choose to share it). We will never collect or store your personal information or file contents.
You can also download and install Rowboat Desktop as a one-time purchase. Rowboat Desktop gives you access to the same features as the browser application—entirely on your own machine.
Open HTML tables, links to spreadsheets, and Google Sheets directly in Rowboat right from your browser.
We’ve distilled what we’ve learned from years of experience building custom software and tools for understanding complex datasets. Since 2010, we’ve partnered with everyone from Fortune 500s to non-profit organizations across a broad range of sectors, including health care, education, financial services, media, technology, and consumer products.
With Rowboat, we’ve created a tool that encapsulates a core part of our process—that initial moment of understanding a dataset—in a way that can be used by anyone, and without having to learn complex tools or write custom code.
