Liquun - Personal Lab Notebook
Utilities
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Liquun is a local-first personal research workspace for researchers who need more than scattered notes, but less than a heavyweight institutional system. It keeps project context, experiments, raw evidence, results, literature, tasks, meetings, and practical lab knowledge connected in one focused place.
Research context often disappears across notebooks, calendars, folders, messages, and memory. Liquun gives each experiment, finding, and next action a clear place without forcing your work into a rigid process.
TODAY'S RESEARCH DESK
Start with what needs attention now: overdue tasks, upcoming experiment timepoints, active runs, unread papers, recent meetings, and key findings.
PROJECT CONTEXT
Keep the background, status, experiments, tasks, literature, meetings, and latest results of each project together. Return to a project without rebuilding its story from several different tools.
STRUCTURED EXPERIMENT NOTEBOOK
Capture the research objective, hypothesis, protocol snapshot, sample metadata, instruments, reagent lots, plate layout, timepoints, structured results, conclusion, and next steps. Use only the fields you need for a quick note or preserve enough detail for a complex run.
TRACEABLE RAW EVIDENCE
Link local files or folders to an experiment and retain their path, modification time, size, and SHA-256 fingerprint. Liquun does not copy or upload the original data, so your findings remain connected to their evidence while the files stay under your control.
LAB KNOWLEDGE HUB
Record who to ask, where equipment and reagents live, and how your lab actually performs a protocol. Keep people, resource locations, and working methods findable when joining a new lab or starting a new project.
TASKS AND MEETINGS
Organize tasks by overdue, today, upcoming, or unscheduled. Turn meeting feedback into concrete actions while retaining the project, experiment, or discussion that created them.
LITERATURE AND GLOBAL SEARCH
Save publication metadata, reading status, and Markdown notes. Press Command-K to search across projects, experiments, literature, people, resources, and protocols.
LOCAL-FIRST BY DEFAULT
Your research records stay on your Mac by default, with no account required. Automatic safety snapshots, manual backups, export, and restore tools help you remain in control of your data.
DESIGNED FOR MAC
Use Liquun in English or Chinese, with native menus, keyboard shortcuts, light and dark appearances, and familiar window behavior.
Liquun is built for graduate students, postdocs, researchers, and anyone who wants a clearer path from research question to experiment, evidence, and next step.
