DataTools is local-first — "Upload" reads like "send data somewhere
remote", which contradicts the product positioning. Sweep replaces
the user-visible term throughout the UI:
- ``src/i18n/packs/en.json`` + ``es.json``: all ``upload.*`` strings
(heading, intro, uploader labels, empty state, switch-back, etc.)
and ``gate.default_name``. The ``intro_multi`` "no upload anywhere"
phrasing dropped the verb entirely — now reads "nothing leaves
this computer".
- All 9 tool pages: ``st.file_uploader(label="Upload …")`` →
``"Import …"``; matching ``st.info("Upload a …")`` empty-state
banners; ``help="Upload …"`` strings on disabled uploaders.
- ``9_Pipeline_Runner`` + ``5_Column_Mapper``: radio-option text
``"Upload schema/pipeline JSON"`` → ``"Import …"`` plus the
``.startswith("Upload")`` branch guards that read those values.
- ``_home.py``: "**Uploaded files**" → "**Imported files**".
- ``app_demo.py``: "Uploaded file is …" → "Imported file is …".
Internal identifiers left untouched: function names
(``pickup_or_upload``, ``_StashedUpload``), session-state keys
(``home_upload``, ``home_uploads``, ``home_uploaded_*``,
``merger_file_upload``), audit-log event category (``"upload"``),
Streamlit testid CSS selectors. None of those are visible to the
user.
The file_uploader's dropzone button text is a baked-in React
literal that Streamlit's ``label=`` doesn't reach; rewritten at the
DOM level with a small ``_RENAME_UPLOAD_BUTTON_JS`` snippet shipped
through ``st.iframe`` (same pattern the sticky footer uses to mount
on ``<body>``). A ``MutationObserver`` on the parent document re-
applies the swap when Streamlit remounts the dropzone after file
add/remove or page navigation, throttled via ``requestAnimationFrame``.

Download (non-technical users)
Pre-built installers — no Python required:
| Platform | Download | First-launch note |
|---|---|---|
| macOS | DataTools-X.Y.Z-mac.dmg |
Drag DataTools.app into /Applications, then double-click. |
| Windows | DataTools-X.Y.Z-win-setup.exe |
Run the installer; launches from Start Menu. |
| Linux | DataTools-X.Y.Z-linux-x86_64.AppImage |
chmod +x the file, then double-click. |
Latest release: see GitHub Releases (or the Gumroad listing). The installers are ~150–200 MB; the launcher boots a local server at http://127.0.0.1:8501 and opens your browser. Nothing is sent to the cloud.
Install from source (developers)
pip install -r requirements.txt
Python 3.10+ required.
Run
GUI (recommended):
streamlit run src/gui/app.py
CLI — seven entry points:
python -m src.cli customers.csv [--apply] # dedup
python -m src.cli_text_clean messy.csv [--apply] # text clean
python -m src.cli_format intl.csv [--apply] # format standardize (auto-streams >100 MB)
python -m src.cli_missing holes.csv [--apply] # missing values
python -m src.cli_column_map vendor.csv [--apply] # column mapper
python -m src.cli_pipeline any_file.csv [--apply] # chain tools end-to-end
python -m src.cli_analyze any_file.csv [--json] # scan only
Every CLI runs preview-only by default; add --apply to write output.
Language
The GUI sidebar has a language picker. Packs ship for English and Español (src/i18n/packs/); the choice persists for the session. Adding a language: drop a <code>.json next to en.json mirroring its key tree, then list it in LANGUAGES. See Developer Guide §i18n.
Review & Normalize gate
Every uploaded file passes through a CSV-normalization gate before any tool sees it. The analyzer flags ~15 issue types (whitespace, NBSP / zero-width chars, BOM, encoding, smart punct, dirty headers, null sentinels, mojibake, …) tagged by confidence (high / medium / low) and fix action. The GUI shows each finding with Auto-fix / Skip / Customize, a live before/after preview, and an encoding-override picker. Tool pages refuse to load until the gate passes.
Output
Every run writes:
{input}_<tool>.csv— the cleaned data{input}_changes.csv(text cleaner) or{input}_match_groups.csv(dedup) — audit traillogs/<tool>_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.log— debug-level run log
Original input file is never modified.
