Daty is a free cross-platform advanced Wikidata editor adhering to GNOME Human Interface Guidelines, intended to enable better editing workflow and faster deployment of requested user features. Use Daty to search, select, read, batch edit items, script actions, share, visualize proposed changes and bots.
Daty is written in Python 3 and it uses GTK+ 3.0 python bindings for interface organization and drawing.
It has a progressive layout thanks to libhandy and uses pywikibot as a backend.
The development of the current version (1.0β) has been made possible thanks to a sponsorship provided by Wikimedia CH.
Endorse the project on Wikidata to help the development get funds.
An overview of what you will find in the stable 1.0 version is available at project presentation page.
