About CELBRIDGE

Celbridge is a human-centered, open-source data workbench designed to take the pain out of spreadsheet workflows.

Originally developed as an internal tool at a large game studio, we’re now working to make Celbridge accessible to developers across the software industry.

Our Vision

Complex spreadsheet workflows are a big pain point in many organizations. Our core goal with Celbridge is to simplify these workflows, improving data quality and saving your team time and money.

As well as spreadsheet workflows, the combination of Celbridge, Python and web applications is powerful and flexible. Our community has already found many innovative and fun ways to use Celbridge, such as:

  • developing games using Pygame

  • managing complex QA dashboards

  • learning Python coding

We want to develop Celbridge hand-in-hand with the community, and we’re excited to see what you build with it. That’s why we’ve integrated the community forum right into the application itself, via the Community Button. Get in touch!
