What’s new in Gridhand

The changes in each version. Gridhand checks for updates itself; you can also choose Gridhand, Check for Updates.

Version 1.0.1

Released 1 November 2026.

Convert: CSV, TSV and text files now become XLSX with column widths that fit the data, so dates and long codes are readable in Excel without widening columns by hand.
Clearer note when a tool leaves files out: a CSV or text file is pointed to Convert, and the wording is fixed.
Result lines say “1 sheet” and “3 sheets” instead of “sheet(s)”.

Released 1 November 2026. First release.

Merge: combine workbooks into one workbook (every sheet a tab, with formatting, tables, charts, images and notes) or stack the rows of many sheets into one sheet, matching columns by header text, with optional source file and sheet columns.
Split: one file per sheet, one file per value in a column, or a new file every N rows, with header rows repeated.
Compare: two workbooks into a highlighted copy plus Summary and Differences sheets; match rows by position or key columns.
Clean: trim spaces, text to numbers, standardise dates, unmerge and fill down, remove duplicates, remove empty rows and columns.
Find and Replace across many workbooks with plain text, whole cell, case and regular expressions, in values or formulas, with a preview of every match.
Convert: CSV, TSV and text to XLSX with encoding and delimiter detection, and XLSX to CSV per sheet.
Every tool shows a preview first. Originals are never modified and files are never overwritten.
Works on your Mac. No account, no AI, no usage analytics. Free on up to 3 files per run; Gridhand Pro is USD 49 once for 2 Macs.
Not supported: .xls and .numbers files, and password-protected workbooks.
