Features

Members land on the Workbench Projects grid; PIs on the curated Lab Overview. No customizable home dashboard.

Card anatomy, kebab menu actions, and the full Workspace route for each project.

Drag to reschedule, dependencies cascade automatically.

Three tabs (Experiments, Notes, Lists) with a shared project filter, popup with Details / Lab Notes / Method / Results, PDF / HTML / Raw export.

Three modes, keyboard shortcuts, image strip, code blocks.

A timeline of every save, an in-place per-editor diff, and a default-off restore pilot. Notes pilot, rolling out.

Your notebook is plain files, so any AI can read it. The built-in AI Helper prompt plus the paste and agentic flows.

The built-in assistant that operates the app for you: mentions, slash commands, macros, full object CRUD, summaries, and PDF reproduce.

Reusable protocols, with PCR programs as a specialized form.

View, edit, annotate, and clone DNA, RNA, and protein sequences. Your plasmid library lives alongside your notes and experiments.

A free, open-source GraphPad Prism alternative. Statistics and publication figures that run in the browser, with your data staying in your folder.

A free ChemDraw and SciFinder alternative. Draw structures, build a molecule library, and find the papers and patents for a compound, all in the browser.

A Tree Builder that writes you a verified, runnable tree-building recipe, and a Tree Studio that renders and annotates trees in the browser, a free iTOL alternative.

Lay your real data figures out on a single publication page, with live panels from sequences, molecules, trees, and Data Hub plots, exported as one clean vector SVG.

The shortest path from your data to a collaborator. Share a method, sequence, dataset, or figure straight to any researcher on ResearchOS, in your department or across the world, with no files or email needed.

A public, login-free alternative to BioRender. Around 30,000 openly licensed scientific icons and silhouettes, every one with its source and a ready-to-paste citation, dropped straight into your figures.

The opt-in, in-app way to find a researcher by name or institution and share your work with them, with a verified-institution badge and a key fingerprint you confirm before sharing.

In-silico assembly: Gibson and NEBuilder overlap, Golden Gate, restriction-ligation, and Gateway, with a review step before anything is saved.

Find where enzymes cut on both strands, with fragment sizes for linear and circular molecules.

Molarity, dilution, primer Tm, nucleic-acid mass, protein properties, and a scientific calculator, computed live in your browser.

Mark up gels and micrographs without touching the original image. Annotations live in a sidecar you can delete to revert.

The phone app that pairs to your laptop, so you capture photos, scan handwriting, glance at today, read methods, and track inventory at the bench.

Track buys against lab-wide funding accounts.

Local-first by default, with pay-for-what-you-use cloud services, a free network tier, and only the PI ever pays for a lab.

The inventory you will actually keep: count containers not volumes, one-tap status, and expiry, stale, and low signals computed for free.

Native events plus external read-only feeds.

The PI's curated landing page at /lab-overview with a What-needs-you hero, a lab stat strip, the people snapshot, and an inline announcement composer.

The PI's read-first view of every member's experiments at /lab-experiments. Open one to review it, or edit it as the lab head with the change recorded against the owner.

The PI's read-first view of every member's notes at /lab-notes. The notes counterpart to Browse lab experiments.

Lab-wide comments, @-mentions, and announcements in one stream.

The per-user role that unlocks the Lab Overview and soft-write surfaces.

The 1:1 advising surface a lab head and a member share: weekly goals, meeting notes, notes, and a running agenda.

shared_with, the WHOLE_LAB_SENTINEL, canRead vs canWrite, PI view-all.

Filter-driven task search across your projects.

Your personal bookmark wall, grouped by category.

Where the standalone Results page's surfaces moved to.

The 7-step wizard, page-as-task semantics, and idempotent re-runs.

Profile, password, preferences, tab visibility.

Soft-delete with a 30-day recovery window. Restore or permanently delete from the /trash page.

Bell, photo inbox, and event reminders.

Bug, feature, and feedback reports via pre-filled GitHub issues.
