Transform how you work with Apache Parquet files. One double-click replaces dozens of command lines. Now available on macOS, Windows & Linux.
Every data professional knows the struggle. You receive a Parquet file, and suddenly you're writing Python scripts just to peek inside.
Double-click a Parquet file and watch your OS shrug. No preview, no Quick Look, no native support whatsoever.
Fire up Jupyter, import pandas, write df.head()... just to see the first few rows. Every. Single. Time.
Minutes turn to hours when you're constantly context-switching between data exploration and actual analysis.
When basic queries require code, you miss opportunities. Quick questions remain unanswered.
I built this app because I was tired of the friction. Now, exploring Parquet files feels as natural as browsing photos.
Open Parquet files instantly — no scripts, no notebooks, no waiting. Your data is just a double-click away.
Write queries directly in the app. Filter, aggregate, and explore — all powered by DuckDB under the hood.
Get instant insights: min, max, null counts, unique values, and more. Right-click any column for detailed stats.
Your files stay on your device. No uploads, no tracking, no surprises — just private, local analysis.
I built Parquet Reader because I needed it myself. Every feature comes from real frustration with existing tools. If you work with Parquet files daily, this app will change your workflow.
was a widely used, open-source web-based proxy script written in the PHP scripting language. Its primary purpose was to act as an intermediary between a user and a target website, allowing users to browse the internet anonymously and bypass internet censorship or content filters (such as those found in schools or workplaces).

If you need proxy functionality in 2026, experts generally recommend more robust and updated solutions: was a widely used, open-source web-based proxy script
At its heart, a PHP proxy is an application written in the PHP scripting language that acts as an intermediary between your browser and the internet. Instead of connecting directly to a website, your request goes to the PHP script hosted on a server. This script then fetches the target website on your behalf and relays its content back to you. To the target website, it appears as if the request is coming from the proxy server itself, not from you, effectively masking your real IP address and location. Private
Once your PHP‑Proxy is running, you may want to manage it to improve security and performance.
Bypassing firewall restrictions at school or work environments.
Furthermore, security is a concern. Since the proxy server sits in the middle of the connection, the administrator of the proxy can technically see all unencrypted traffic passing through it. For sensitive tasks, users have largely migrated to:
