Philip Gerke

Philip Gerke is a boutique, one-developer publisher whose entire catalog is devoted to Odassey, a lightweight Windows utility that turns any OData v4 endpoint into an instantly browsable, spreadsheet-like workspace. Instead of forcing users to craft hand-written REST queries or wrestle with heavyweight enterprise clients, Odassey presents a clean grid that auto-populates metadata, lets you click-sort, filter, page and export data on the fly, and keeps track of service documents, authentication tokens and entity relationships inside a single tabbed interface. Typical use-cases range from ad-hoc data checks by BI analysts who need to sample live SAP, Microsoft Dynamics or Adobe Commerce entities, to developers who want a quick visual confirmation that their own API is exposing the right fields before wiring it into Power BI, Excel or a custom mobile front-end. Because Odassey speaks the official OData v4 protocol, it negotiates JSON or Atom feeds, honors $select, $expand, $filter and $orderby operators, and can even tunnel through corporate proxies or Azure AD logins without extra plugins. The program is portable, requires no admin rights, and stores connection profiles locally so teams can share reusable shortcuts to staging and production services alike. Philip Gerke’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always fetch the latest version, and can be queued alongside other applications for silent batch installation.
