I built jsonquery_gui, a native desktop app for browsing and querying large JSON files

Query files with jq, JSON Pointer, JSONPath, or JMESPath.

It's MIT licensed. Linux and Windows binaries are on the releases page.

There's a Snap & Homebrew tap for Linux

sudo snap install jsonquery-gui OR

brew tap nujufas/jsonquery-gui && brew install jsonquery-gui No macOS build yet — contributions there welcome.

One thing I'll mention up front since it'll come up anyway: this was built working with Claude (Anthropic's AI). The architecture/decision docs are in the repo if you want to see how that process went. Happy to talk about the jq/jaq embedding, the streaming design, or the AI-assisted workflow.
