About:
xleak is a terminal-based interactive TUI for viewing Excel spreadsheet files directly in the command line. It renders data in a navigable grid format, allowing users to inspect, filter, and analyze spreadsheet content without leaving the terminal. This tool is ideal for developers and system administrators who need to quickly parse Excel data on remote servers or within automated workflows.
Key Features:
  • Interactive TUI for navigating cells and sheets
  • Support for .xlsx and .xls file formats
  • Keyboard-driven navigation (vim-like bindings)
  • Fast rendering of large datasets
  • Zero dependencies for the core viewer
Use Cases:
  • Inspecting Excel reports on headless servers via SSH
  • Quickly viewing data exports from databases or APIs
  • Automated data validation scripts in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • visidata – VisiData is a full-featured spreadsheet explorer with advanced data manipulation, while xleak focuses on lightweight, read-only viewing.
  • in2csv (csvkit) – in2csv converts Excel to CSV for terminal viewing, whereas xleak provides a native interactive interface without conversion steps.
