If you’ve ever worked with PowerShell’s built-in Out-GridView, you know it’s a handy tool to visualize objects in a simple, tabular format. But what if I told you there’s a modern, sleek, and much smarter alternative? That’s exactly why I created Out-SexyGridView! A fresh, interactive grid viewer designed for the way we work today.

Why Out-SexyGridView?

While Out-GridView does a great job at basic object display, it’s limited when handling complex or nested objects, real-time search, or aesthetic flexibility. I wanted a grid viewer that’s intuitive and powerful something that lets you navigate complex data structures easily, search instantly, and view everything in a clean, customizable interface.

Out-SexyGridView is that tool. It’s a modern PowerShell module that transforms how you explore objects with features like recursive navigation, live filtering, smart column detection, and dark/light themes.

What Makes Out-SexyGridView Stand Out?

Here are some of the highlights:

  • Modern UI with Dark/Light Mode: Clean and responsive design that fits any environment or preference.
  • Real-time Search: Filter your data instantly across all visible properties — no waiting.
  • Object Navigation: Dive into nested or complex objects by clicking interactive “View Object” buttons.
  • Data Summary Panel: See quick stats about the types of objects you’re viewing.
  • Smart Column Handling: Automatically adapts to both simple and complex properties.
  • Array and Hashtable Support: Arrays are neatly displayed with index/value columns, and hashtables show up clearly.
  • Flexible View Modes: Choose between a simplified default view or a full property display for deep dives.
