Installation

Every build below comes from
GitHub Releases.

macOS

Install with Homebrew — it picks the right architecture, and the app keeps
updating itself:

brew tap meisquietude/viewda https://github.com/MeisQuietude/Viewda
brew trust --cask meisquietude/viewda/viewda
brew install --cask viewda

Or download a DMG: Apple silicon for an M-series Mac, Intel for an older
Intel Mac, or Universal if unsure. Open it and drag Viewda to Applications.

Either way, builds are not notarized yet; if macOS blocks the first launch,
choose System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.

Windows x64

Download and run the .exe. It is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may
require More info → Run anyway.

Linux x64

Download the AppImage, run chmod +x Viewda_*.AppImage, then open it. The
AppImage is recommended because it supports in-app updates. The .deb
package is a manual-update fallback and is not recommended for most users.
AppImage file associations require integration through appimaged or
AppImageLauncher.

Changes

Added

  • Open Parquet folders recursively as datasets. Hive columns become integers only when all non-null values are canonical signed integers; otherwise they stay text. Filter, sort, inspect, and export complete datasets; source modification times stay unchanged and file starts pinned.
  • Inspect Parquet storage in Structure view with exact chunk coverage and row-group ranges; sortable row-group and physical-column tables with stable leaf numbers for shortened paths; an optional chunk map with compression, codec and statistics lenses plus independent Bloom markers; chunk details and Bloom probes; and a path-free, value-free Markdown report.
  • Inspect nested cell values with typed grid previews and a resizable, searchable Peek opened with Space, double-click, or the cell menu. Expand structured JSON, inspect long text and binary data, cancel long operations, and copy values without leaving the grid.
  • Read loaded Data columns with their logical Arrow types in the schema sidebar; incomplete or unloaded schemas retain their physical representation.

Fixed

  • Keep the column selector visible above the data grid's column headers.
  • Made the empty WHERE popup shorter, narrower, and consistent in size with the query controls.
  • Keep the Data grid's horizontal scrollbar visible, consistently sized, and draggable across platforms.
