MyBI - An app made for Analytics & Data Science Professionals
MyBI is a desktop app for analytics and data science. Load spreadsheets, CSVs, Parquet files or a database, explore and model the data, then build dashboards from it — all in one place, without stitching a notebook to a BI tool to a scheduler.
What's in it
- An embedded analytical SQL engine (DuckDB) — millions of rows stay responsive on a laptop
- Data prep: typed columns, custom formulas, transforms, joins across datasets
- ~40 chart types, a free-form canvas, multi-sheet projects, cross-filtering
- An AI assistant that runs on your key or your hardware — a local model runtime, or Apple's on-device engines on Macs that have them. The choice of engine is yours
- Projects encrypted at rest by default
- Colour palettes as installable files, so a team can share one look
- Interface translated across a wide set of languages
How it differs from the usual approach
| MyBI | Typical cloud BI | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the analysis runs | Your machine | Vendor infrastructure |
| Works with no internet | Yes | Rarely |
| Time to first chart | Open a file | Provision, connect, model |
| AI | Your key or your hardware | Vendor's model |
| Refresh | Already local | Scheduled, queued |
| Setup | Install and open | Onboarding, seats, permissions |
Platforms — macOS and Windows.
What gets built next depends on what people ask for. Feature requests are read and the ones that get traction go into the app with due diligence. The in-app feedback option attaches a diagnostic rundown, so bug reports arrive with the context needed to act on them. Discussion, requests and arguments are all welcome at r/MyBI.
