Data work today is scattered across notebooks, throwaway scripts, and disconnected tools. Six months later, nobody — including the author — can say which cell produced which figure. We built LSD to make the whole pipeline visible: one canvas where data flows from Load to Shape to Deliver, and every transform stays inspectable.
Because the graph is reactive, editing any upstream step updates everything downstream — no manual re-runs, no drift.
LSD is a platform, not just an app. With the lsdtools Python SDK you can write custom steps, UI panels, and whole packages, then publish them to the Tool Store for others to install. Models run as steps too — wire an ONNX model into the graph and feed its predictions downstream.
Download LSD, open the docs, and build your first pipeline. We'll be posting deep-dives, tutorials, and model spotlights here — subscribe via RSS to follow along.
LSD (Load · Shape · Deliver) is a visual desktop platform for building data pipelines. You connect steps on a canvas; each step caches its output and re-runs when inputs change.
Anyone who works with data — geoscientists, ML engineers, roboticists, analysts — who wants a visible, reproducible pipeline instead of a graveyard of notebooks and scripts.
Write steps, panels, and packages in Python with the lsdtools SDK and publish them to the Tool Store. See the docs to get started.
LSD now ships a curated catalog of hosted ONNX models you can run as a step in any pipeline. Choose a model, and its predictions flow downstream to 3D, exports, and dashboards like any other transform — each run charges a clear, fixed price to your credits.
The Tool Store is now a proper marketplace. Publishers submit through a review pipeline, listings carry ratings and reviews, and you can buy a tool on the web and have it install straight into the app. Discovery, trust, and checkout all leveled up.
The documentation is now a structured, top-to-bottom journey — six categories from your first pipeline to publishing packages — with a Ctrl+K search palette, a sticky nav and table of contents, and a plain-markdown view of every page that coding agents and LLMs can read directly.
There are now twenty end-to-end use-case tutorials spanning ten fields — geoscience, ML, robotics, GIS, medical imaging and more — each with a visual walkthrough. The best steps surface on the landing page as a browsable "dex" of pipeline nodes you can filter and deep-link into the exact step.
A roundup of three platform improvements — realtime notifications so you hear about collaboration and jobs as they happen, instant sign-in that drops the friction of getting into the app, and a first-party, cookieless analytics layer that measures the product without tracking you across the web.
