Say goodbye to printing notes. Check off protocol steps, add comments, upload files, and post results in real time across SciNote on your Android or iOS mobile device.
The SciNote electronic lab notebook for mobile is scheduled to be released in mid-April, 2023. Sign up to get notified when the app becomes available for download on App Store and Google Play.
With the SciNote ELN mobile lab notebook app, you can keep track of the statuses of your tasks, and update them as they progress. View the details, assigned items, and notes for each task, and upload your results.
Check off each protocol step as you complete it using SciNote’s interactive protocol. Your updates are synced across SciNote as long as your device is connected to the internet, so you and other lab members can comment on the protocol as you move forward.
Add and edit results, including plain text, images, or other file attachments directly through the mobile app. Files are updated across SciNote if your device is connected to the internet, so your team members can provide immediate feedback to the latest results.
What does it mean that the app is in its beta version?
This means that the SciNote ELN mobile app isn’t in its complete form yet, and we are still working to improve and roll out additional functionalities in future releases. As such, feedback from you, the user, is very important to us; your experience will inform our prioritization of features.

What kind of devices are supported by SciNote ELN mobile app?
The SciNote app supports the following phones and tablets:
When can I have access to the mobile app?
The mobile app will be available for download through the Apple App Store and Google Play by mid April. Make sure to sign up for the email notification so you will receive an update.
Can I open attachments (such as Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, or PDF files) directly through the mobile app?
Attachments in protocol steps and tasks will be downloaded and automatically opened with your device’s applications if available. Otherwise, you will be asked to select an app to open the downloaded file. In the task results, attached images can be previewed directly.
Will the app cost me extra?
No; the app is free of charge. The app works with the browser-based SciNote ELN, so you do need a SciNote account in order to use the app.
What are the main differences between the new app and the previous (legacy) app?
In the legacy app, you are only able to see protocol steps. In the new app, you will have access to open task contents, including task status, details, notes, protocol, assigned items, and results. In addition, you can check off protocol steps and step checklists as they get completed, comment on protocol tasks and results, and add your results as plain text, images, or file attachments.
What happens if I am using the legacy app?
We will transition out of the legacy app in the future. We recommend that you move to the new app whenever possible.
Do I need a SciNote account to use the app?
Yes, you do need a SciNote account to use the app. If you don’t have a SciNote account yet, you can claim your free 14-day SciNote trial with premium features and support, or sign up for a free personal-used only account with limited functions.
What is the timeline for app rollout for Platinum plan or locally hosted users?
The timeline for rollout for Platinum plan and locally hosted users will be shared when available. Please contact your Customer Success Manager for more information.
What’s the difference between the app and the browser-based SciNote?
The SciNote app is in beta; we will be adding new functionalities to the app in future releases. However, the app is meant to work as a companion to the full (browser) version of SciNote, not to replace it.
Will the changes I make through the app reflected immediately across the platform?
Yes. Updates you make through the app will be synced across the platform as long as the app device is connected to the internet.

“Easy to use electronic lab notebook”
I really liked how easy to use and organized Scinote is. The function that allows you to categorize the molecules and cells tested in an assay is really useful to then search quickly the data you are interested in. The possibility to attach excel files and power point presentations make really easy to show summaries of the experiments.
“Good bye paper – hello digitalization”
I really like to have everything I need in the lab (protocols, experimental setup, inventories and results) in one place and to be able to access it from anywhere. No more paper sheets with notes and printed results that have to be put into a paper lab notebook. Not to mention the fact, that the SciNote team is very friendly and always available for questions.
“Easy to use, always improving, and great customer support – SciNote’s great!”
The customer support has been and continues to be excellent. The team at SciNote has gone above and beyond to listen to and take my colleagues’ feedback seriously; we’ve seen many of our suggestions implemented over a year, and SciNote has continued to evolve to suit our company’s needs.
SciNote Mobile App is available for download on App Store and Google Play.
