Zui

Drag data into Zui to inspect and work with it interactively instead of relying solely on a separate command-line workflow. During ingestion, it detects common data formats automatically and infers each dataset’s schema as it loads. The results appear in views suited to both nested records and tabular data, helping users move between different data shapes. Right-click menus let users pivot results and apply filters while investigating the material.

Zui supports named queries for recurring investigations and preserves version history for those queries. Its query-session history records earlier work, making it easier to trace how an exploration developed. Users can pin useful query fragments so frequently reused expressions stay available without filling the search box. These features make it practical for analysts, developers, and other data-focused users who need repeatable interactive inspection, while also serving as the official front end for the Zed lake.

Zui 1.18.0 is a freeware Security & Privacy desktop application for Windows, published by Brim Data. The package is unofficial and is not affiliated with Brim Data, and the application has been renamed from Brim to Zui. It updates automatically, although a failed package test does not necessarily mean that the official installer itself has a problem.
