Free

no licence, no catch

Report Studio's canvas editor in dark mode, showing a quarterly sales report with region and category groups, a bar and a pie chart, and a text field open in the inspector

// FEATURES

Visual Canvas Editor

Drag, resize, align and format text, fields, images and tables on a live page preview. No markup editing.

Live Database Connections

PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle and SQLite. Drag a column onto the page and it's a bound field. Credentials stay in the macOS Keychain, never in plain text.

Export Anywhere

PDF, Excel, HTML, CSV, XML, RTF, OpenDocument — one design, every format, through the engine's own exporters.

Conditional Formatting

Highlight negatives, zebra-stripe rows — driven by expressions, not manual per-row styling.

Expression Editor

Inline autocomplete and a live test panel for formula fields, so errors come back in plain language, not a stack trace.

Reusable Snippets

Save any element, or a whole group, as a named snippet — insert it into any band, in any report, later.

// INSTALLING IT

1. Install

Paste this into Terminal - it downloads, installs and opens Report Studio.

D=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL https://bowa.up.railway.app/report-studio/download -o "$D/rs.dmg" \
  && hdiutil attach -quiet -nobrowse -mountpoint "$D/mnt" "$D/rs.dmg" \
  && ditto "$D/mnt/ReportStudio.app" /Applications/ReportStudio.app \
  && hdiutil detach -quiet "$D/mnt" && rm -rf "$D" \
  && open /Applications/ReportStudio.app

Prefer to click? Download the .dmg above, open it, and drag Report Studio into Applications instead.

2. Allow it to open

The first launch is blocked - that's expected, it isn't signed with an Apple Developer certificate yet. Go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Every launch after that is a normal double-click. (macOS 14 and earlier: just right-click the app and choose Open instead.)

// QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK FIRST

How do I open a .jrxml file on a Mac?

Download Report Studio, drag it to Applications and open the .jrxml file with it. It reads and writes standard .jrxml, so reports stay portable and keep running wherever they run today.

Is Report Studio free?

Yes. Report Studio is free to download and use.

Which macOS versions and Macs are supported?

Any Apple Silicon Mac (M-series or A-series, including MacBook Neo) running macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later.

Can it connect to a real database?

Yes - PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle and SQLite. Credentials are stored in the macOS Keychain; once connected you design against real data and export to PDF, Excel, HTML and the other supported formats.
