PBIXRay

See inside any Power BI file — natively on your Mac. PBIXRay opens .pbix files directly: no Power BI Desktop, no Windows VM, no uploading your model to anyone's cloud. Drop a file on the app — or just press Space in Finder, Quick Look included — and get the full picture of the semantic model in seconds. Analysis Services backup files (.abf) open the same way. FREE, FOR EVERY FILE YOU OPEN • Model overview — tables, relationships, row counts, storage footprint • Interactive relationship diagram • Report page structure with visual-by-visual wireframes • Data source inventory and connection details • Quick Look previews in Finder — arrow through a folder of models in seconds ONE PURCHASE UNLOCKS THE FULL INSPECTOR — FOREVER • Every DAX measure, calculated column and calculated table, with syntax highlighting • All Power Query (M) source, parameters included • Table data — browse the actual rows stored in the model • Metrics: the per-column memory breakdown (cardinality, dictionary and hierarchy sizes) you'd otherwise open VertiPaq Analyzer for • Export the whole model as JSON, CSV, Markdown or HTML No subscription. The unlock is a single one-time purchase. BUILT FOR POWER BI PROFESSIONALS Consultants auditing inherited models, teams reviewing PBIX files in pull requests, and anyone who ever said "I just need to see what's in this file" on a Mac. Engineered lean: memory-mapped parsing keeps the footprint small enough to keep many large models open side by side. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your models never leave your Mac. PBIXRay ships without the macOS network entitlement, so the sandbox itself prevents any upload — no account, no telemetry, works fully offline. (The optional purchase is handled by the App Store outside the app.) SUPPORTED FILES • Power BI Desktop reports (.pbix) — import, DirectQuery, composite, and thin/Live Connection reports • Analysis Services backups (.abf)
