Lab software, built at the bench.
Turning raw data into one publication-ready figure can cost you an afternoon: a spreadsheet, a stats package, a script or two, an image editor, a word processor. CellXapps replaces that chain with focused tools, one per job, each shaped around how the experiment was actually run. Released one at a time, mostly free.
The bench tax
Every figure is a relay race between programs that were never meant to pass the baton. CellXapps gives each job a single app that carries it from the instrument to the manuscript.
The suite
Each app owns a single, unglamorous part of the workflow that quietly eats your week, and carries it from raw data to a figure you can publish. Same conventions, same rigor, the same generated Methods section and one-click export across all of them.
Available now Imaging · macOS
Raw scratch and wound-healing assays into publication-ready figures, the right statistics, and a draft Methods section, in one macOS app from the microscope to the manuscript.
Why CellXapps
Across the suite the same hard problems keep coming back: which test, which image, how to write it up, which call to trust. These are the parts that decide whether the work survives review, so CellXapps solves them once, the right way.
Methods text
Not a template with blanks. A paragraph generated from the experiment you actually ran, with the citations to back it.
Manuscript-ready, with a bibliography
Statistics
Pick the wrong test and a reviewer will find it. CellXapps reads your design and recommends one that holds up.
Recommends the test, shows its reasoning
Representative image
Choosing a representative micrograph by eye invites bias. CellXapps picks the replicate closest to the group mean, every time.
Closest-to-mean, no cherry-picking
Consensus calling
For genotyping and copy number, no single caller is right every time. CellXapps runs several and reconciles them, so you see where they agree and where they do not.
Consensus with an agreement score
I build these because I needed them. They fit the bench because the bench is where they were made.
Wet-lab scientists are rarely in the room where scientific software gets built, so the tools never quite match how the work really happens. CellXapps is the attempt to fix that, one tool at a time. The goal is simple: give you back the hours, to run more experiments, or to spend them with the people you care about.
Most of the suite is free. If a tool saves you time at the bench, buy me a coffeeReleases
Scratch Studio is available now for macOS, signed, notarized and free for non-commercial research. The rest of the suite is on the way, released one at a time. Follow along to catch each one as it ships.
