The numbers change.
New data arrives, and every chart you pasted into last week's report is now wrong.
For macOS 14.4 or later · Early access
Your data and your report, finally in sync.
Ebla Suite is two native Mac apps that work as one. Shape your data in Ebla Query, turn it into a beautiful report in Ebla Studio, and when the numbers change, the report updates itself. No more copying, pasting, or stale charts.
Native Swift. Works offline. Your data stays on your Mac.
Copy. Paste. Out of date.
The rebuild starts again.
You redo the same tables, the same formatting and the same captions, every week or month.
Nobody knows which version is right.
“Is this the final number?” becomes a meeting.
Ebla Suite ends the copy-paste loop.
One flow, from raw data to finished report.
-
1
Bring your data in.
Open CSV, Excel, JSON, Parquet or SQLite files. Ebla Query previews each column's type and flags bad rows before you import.
-
2
Shape it.
Clean, filter and calculate with familiar spreadsheet formulas, pivots and charts. Every cleaning step is saved and replays when the source data is refreshed.
-
3
Build the report.
Send the dataset to Ebla Studio. You get a formatted table, a KPI scorecard and charts, ready for your words.
-
4
It stays in sync.
When the data changes in Query, linked tables, scorecards and charts in Studio update. Pin any block to keep a number fixed.
Export a polished PDF, or a Word document that keeps your headings, captions and lists.
The part Excel and Word can't do
Change the data. Watch the report follow.
Every table, scorecard and chart in Ebla Studio remembers exactly which dataset it came from. Publish a new version in Ebla Query, and Studio brings the linked blocks up to date and keeps your manual formatting. You stay in control.
- Pin a version. Lock a block to this month's numbers, and it won't move until you say so.
- Nothing breaks silently. If a column disappears from the data, Studio flags it on the page instead of quietly changing your report.
- Review big changes first. Choose “Ask me” and Studio waits for your OK before applying a large update.
- See where it's used. Ebla Query shows which reports depend on each dataset, so you know what a change will touch.
- Every version is kept. Each publish is saved as its own revision, so you can always answer “where did this number come from?”
Ebla Query
Ebla Query: make sense of messy data, fast.
If you know a spreadsheet, you already know Ebla Query. It adds the parts spreadsheets never got right: a clean import, a record of every step, and a direct line to your report.
Import without the mess.
See detected types, encodings and bad rows before you commit. Works with CSV, Excel, JSON, Parquet and SQLite.
Formulas you already know.
SUM, IF, VLOOKUP and the finance set (NPV, IRR, PMT, FV) are among the 60 most-used spreadsheet functions in the formula bar.
Answers in a few clicks.
Pivot with percent of total and running totals. Chart with histograms, box plots, combo charts and trendlines. Get quick statistics: mean, confidence interval, t-test and correlation.
Repeatable by design.
Cleaning steps such as filter, rename, fill down and flash fill replay when you refresh from the source. Pass, warn and fail quality rules flag data that isn't ready.
Need to share with Excel users? Export a real .xlsx with numeric cells, formulas and a frozen header.
Ebla Studio
Ebla Studio: reports that look finished from the first page.
A calm writing space that thinks in pages. Type, press / to add a table or chart, and let Studio handle the numbering, references and layout.
Professional styles, built in.
Title, Heading 1–3, Normal and Caption, applied in a click and kept when you export.
Numbering that never breaks.
Tables and figures number themselves, and “see Table 2” always points to the right one.
References without the pain.
Import BibTeX or RIS and get APA or IEEE references. Track edits with author and time, and check spelling with the Mac's own checker.
Export that holds up.
Clean, print-ready PDF. Word (.docx) export keeps your headings, captions and lists. Batch reports create one PDF per record, such as one per client, site or asset.
Find any command instantly with Cmd-K.
Start from a finished report, not a blank page.
Every template opens with sample data, so you see a complete report before you add a single number. Swap in your data and the tables, charts and KPIs follow.
- Weekly KPIs
- Monthly business review
- Board pack
- Sales report
- Client report
- Executive summary
- Audit findings
- Cohort analysis
- Ad-hoc SQL findings
- Lab report
- Thesis chapter
- Stats homework
- Essay

Save your own report as a template, and reuse it next month.
Built for anyone who turns numbers into documents.
Analysts
Monday's KPI report, done before your coffee.
Refresh the data and the weekly report is current again: same layout, new numbers.
Engineers
Thresholds in, status badges out.
Set pass, warn and fail rules, and see Good, Warn and Crit right on the page. Generate one report per asset in a single run. Condition monitoring and vibration reports are one example.

Small businesses
Your numbers, your report, no IT department.
Familiar formulas, finance functions and a monthly review that rebuilds itself from this month's data.
Inspection and facilities
From site findings to signed-off report.
Punch lists, status badges and repeatable inspection reports.
Ebla Suite vs Excel + Word
Excel and Word are brilliant tools. They just weren't built to work together. Here's an honest look.
| Question | Excel + Word | Ebla Suite |
|---|---|---|
| Getting data into a report | Copy and paste, or embedded objects that are fragile to share | Send to Studio: table, scorecard and charts in one step |
| When the data changes | Find and redo every pasted table and chart | Linked blocks update, and you can pin anything that must not move |
| “Where did this number come from?” | Hard to tell | Each block knows its dataset and revision |
| Repeating a monthly report | Rebuild or maintain macros | Refresh the source, and cleaning steps replay |
| Figure and table numbering | Available, but fiddly with pasted objects | Automatic, with cross-references |
| One report per client or asset | Mail merge, for text only | Batch reports, one PDF per record |
| Sharing with others | Universal | Export PDF, .docx and .xlsx so anyone can open them |
A real Mac app. Not a website in a window.
Ebla Suite is written entirely in Swift on Apple's own frameworks. It works offline, feels at home on macOS, and keeps your data on your Mac.
- Native, light and dark. Built with SwiftUI and Apple's text and PDF engines.
- Private by default. Your data and reports live in files on your Mac. No account is needed to work.
- Quick Look and Spotlight. Press Space in Finder to preview a report, and search for it by title.
- Shortcuts. Create, open and compile reports from the Shortcuts app.
- Keyboard first. Cmd-K for everything, and / to insert blocks.
- Safe documents. Opening a report never runs code. Code blocks run only when you allow them, inside a sandboxed helper.
FAQ
What's the difference between Ebla Query and Ebla Studio?
Query is where your data lives: import, clean, calculate, pivot and chart. Studio is where your report lives: write, lay out, cite and export. They are separate apps that work as one. Studio's tables and charts stay linked to Query's data.
Do I need both apps?
[PACKAGING TBD: confirm whether they are sold together or separately.] They work best together, because live sync is the point.
Will my report really update by itself?
Yes. When you publish new data in Query, linked tables, scorecards and charts in Studio update. You can pin any block to a specific version, or choose to review large changes before they apply.
Can I open my Excel files? Can my colleagues open what I make?
Yes. Query imports .xlsx and CSV, and exports a real .xlsx with numbers and formulas. Studio exports PDF and a Word .docx that keeps your styles. Importing arbitrary Word documents into Studio isn't supported yet.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Both apps work on files on your Mac and work offline.
Which Macs are supported?
macOS 14.4 Sonoma or later. [CHIP SUPPORT TBD: confirm a universal Apple Silicon and Intel build before listing Intel.]
How much will it cost?
[PRICE TBD]. Early-access members will hear first [and get launch pricing, IF TRUE].
When can I get it?
We're finishing Apple notarisation and packaging. Join early access and we'll email you when it's ready to download. [DATE TBD: add a month if you can commit to one.]
Can I collaborate with my team?
Not in real time yet. Today you share PDF, Word or Excel exports, and comments stay inside the .ebla file.
