What users are saying
"Since introducing Shaper we are able to quickly visualize and share data with customers. We also keep finding new use cases, from Embedded Analytics to PDF creation and internal research tools."
"Our Engineering and Operations team relies on Shaper to quickly access relevant, actionable data with the power of DuckDB to create embeddable reports and dashboards in minutes."
"Shaper enabled us to add embedded analytics to our product with no extra tooling, while keeping full control over our data and avoid vendor lock-in."
Built for teams who need control
Don't build analytics from scratch
Skip the complexity of traditional BI tools. Write SQL queries and Shaper handles the rest—dashboards, reports, exports, all embedded in your product. Build analytics features in hours, not months.

Dashboards embedded directly
No redirects. No separate login.
Every change is verifiable
Because everything is SQL code in Git, every dashboard change is auditable. See exactly what changed, who changed it, and when. Essential for compliance and security reviews.
