> Upload an Excel workbook with its tables, formulas, rules and VBA macros and get a web app plus a small Python server that runs on your local network.

Sheetsmith turns an Excel workbook (.xlsx or .xlsm), with its tables, formulas, validation rules, conditional formats and VBA macros, into a web app plus a one-file Python server.

You upload the workbook, adjust the app in a studio, preview it live and download a zip. Everyone on the same Wi-Fi then shares the app and its data, with no cloud account needed.

Who it's for: Small businesses and teams that run on an Excel workbook and want it as a shared app

## What it does

- Try a workbook without signing up: it is read in memory and nothing is stored
- Keeps tables, formulas, data validation, conditional formats and supported VBA macros
- A studio to adjust screens and preview the app live
- Download a zip with index.html, server.py, start scripts and a README
- Runs on any computer on a local network, so the whole team shares one copy of the data
- Example workbooks (bakery orders, a tool library, a flooring quote) to explore

## Questions

### What does Sheetsmith make from my workbook?

A web app (one HTML page) and a small Python server. Run the server on one computer and everyone on the same network opens the app in a browser and works on the same data.

### Do my VBA macros still work?

Common macros are converted and run in the app. The Guide lists the formula functions and VBA objects the engine supports, straight from the engine itself.

### Can I try it without an account?

Yes. Drop a workbook on the landing page: it is read in memory and nothing is stored. Sign up only if you want to keep the project.

### Does my data go to the cloud?

The app you download runs on your own network. Sheetsmith only stores projects you choose to keep in your account.
