iBabel

The application provides a graphical user interface for the open‑source cheminformatics toolkit OpenBabel, allowing users to access OpenBabel’s conversion and analysis functions without command‑line interaction. It also integrates a collection of tools built on OpenBabel and includes a 2‑D/3‑D molecule viewer for visualizing structures directly within the program. Designed for macOS, the software targets chemists, researchers, and students who need a convenient desktop environment to perform format conversion, molecular manipulation, and basic visual analysis of chemical data. Its distinctiveness lies in wrapping the full capabilities of OpenBabel in a native Mac GUI, offering a unified point of access to various OpenBabel‑based utilities and an interactive viewer, all packaged as a stable, ready‑to‑use application.
