Recalc launches open-source beta spreadsheet where cells run AI coding agents
Overview
Recalc is an open-source spreadsheet in early beta, released by sshah03 and launched on Hacker News, in which each cell can hold a value, formula, terminal command, or AI agent such as Claude Code or Codex.
Agents write their results into cells, and a test cell can re-run when code changes, turning red if a check fails. The app runs on macOS, with Linux support marked experimental, and stores boards as local files with no account. The developer says the app is free, and the agents use the user's own Claude or ChatGPT plan.
