What is Kanaries?

Data into interactive visuals across Python and R.

Who is Kanaries best for?

Kanaries is best for analysts who explore data with drag-and-drop charts in Jupyter or RStudio, not plotting code.

  • Python notebook users

    PyGWalker turns a pandas DataFrame into a drag-and-drop chart explorer with one line of code, in Jupyter, Streamlit, Gradio or Dash.

  • R users in RStudio

    GWalkR opens the same explorer in the RStudio viewer, and the charts can go straight into R Markdown and Quarto reports.

  • Developers adding charts to an app

    The Graphic Walker component embeds a drag-and-drop analytics view in React, Vue or Angular apps, so you do not build a chart builder yourself.

  • Teams sharing findings

    The Pro plan adds shared dashboards and data apps, chat-based exploration and connections to databases such as DuckDB and Snowflake.
