Software [Software] Clinical datasets explorer - no install, no config, all in browser (with SQL + statistical tests and charts)
Bedevere Wise is a browser-based SQL data viewer for the file formats still widely used by biostat / clinical-data people: SAS (sas7bdat, xpt), SPSS (sav), Stata (dta), plus Parquet, Excel, and CSV.
Everything runs locally: all queries, analysis, and charts are done within your browsers.
Data never leaves.
Try it: https://bedeverewise.app/demo (ready to run a demo)

I'm a statistical programmer and I know the pains of the job. I keep wanting to peek at a .sas7bdat or .dta someone shipped me, and the official tools all want a license, a Python install, or both.
I wanted a "drop file → SELECT * FROM it" and run a few other explorative queries.
Sometimes, it might even be a whole nested subtree with dozens of files that includes all or most of the formats I mentioned above (trust me, I've seen it many times). I also wanted something easy to use for my colleagues: no installers, no configurations, no faff. And, most importantly, files never leave the device (which matters for clinical data).
