Your research assistant & lab notebook, all in one app
Organize your work
Experiments, Notes, Meetings, Stickies.
There are many types of entries for your different needs. Yet all your content is in one place, easy to browse and search.
Collections.
Findings lets you organize your entries into nested collections. Research projects, collaborations, reports, you decide how you want it, and where you want it.
Never lose a file, never lose data
Attachments.
With Findings, you will always know where to find your research files and data. It is right where they belong, in the corresponding experiment or note. The files are copied in your Findings library, which means no more accidental deletion, no more editing of the wrong file, no more cloud incantation.
Preview and edit.
Any file can be an attachment: image, spreadsheet, ruby script, molecule structure, etc. It is easy to preview with QuickLook, show in the Finder or edit in your favorite application.
Tables & Spreadsheets. Findings has built-in tables for quick data entry. Or you can create template files compatible with Excel or Pages.

Keep track of your progress
Ongoing, in review, completed.
With Findings, it is very easy to switch between the past, the present and the future.
As you work through a project and research activities or experiments, your entries go through different states, so you always know what's next.
Getting through the day.
With Findings, you get from the bird's eye view to the nitty-gritty of all your current tasks at the click of a mouse. Throughout the day, you can follow your progress, add a quick note, start a timer, edit your experiment conditions, and never forget a step.
Make an impression
A journal for you.
Based on all your entries, Findings generates a lab notebook automatically, in PDF format, that you can directly access from the app or on your disk. Your research journal literally prints itself out! And if you need more control, you can just as easily print the entries of your choice, for the dates of your choice.
Easy to share.
Your research should not be in a silo. Findings can easily export any subset or all of your experiments and protocols to PDF, with all the attachments neatly arranged in folders. You can also export documents as archives, that anybody can read back in Findings. Sharing your results and impressing your colleagues has never been easier!
Follow the recipe
Protocols, procedures, processes, recipes, guides...
They have a special place in Findings, to make them easy to browse, edit, and share with others in the lab, or with the rest of the world.
Templates for experiments.
Protocols are building blocks for experiments. Once inserted, a copy is made, so you can still tweak it for that one time, and leave the original untouched.
Frequently Accessed Resources
Quick access.
Get to your important reference documents straight from the Resources menu. Each resource opens in a window that will always be there for you.
Customize.
Adding your own is as easy as dragging a file into a folder. Resources can be PDF, images, text. You can even build a full widget with html and javascript.
Findings Everywhere
Sync.
Findings leverages the power of Dropbox so your experiments follow you wherever you go, on your laptop at home or your iPhone in the field.
iPhone & iPad.
Macs don’t like water, nitric acid, radioactive stains, deep-diving, liquid nitrogen and mouse droppings. Findings for iPhone and iPad follows you in the field, at the bench, or a conference.
