About

Magpie is a free molecular visualisation and scientific post-processing app for iPhone and iPad, designed for computational chemistry research, teaching and learning. KEY FEATURES • Open and inspect computational chemistry outputs, molecular coordinates, trajectories and volumetric data. • Explore interactive 3D structures, vibrational modes, reaction paths, spectra and potential-energy surfaces. • Export molecular structures and surfaces as GLB or USDZ 3D models, and trajectories, molecular vibrations and model rotation as USDZ 3D animations. • Edit atoms, bonds and geometries, then optimise structures with UFF or MMFF94s. • Generate quantum-chemistry input files, including ab initio molecular dynamics workflows, plus XYZ, MOL2, CIF and PDB files. • Load XYZ and DCD trajectories and visualise molecular orbitals, ESP and signed CUBE scalar fields. • Organise files locally, import from other apps, or connect to an authorised SSH/SFTP server for remote browsing, terminal work and optional Multiwfn-assisted analysis. • Visualise molecular orbitals and electrostatic potential (ESP)-coloured molecular surfaces from supported wavefunction files with one tap, with Multiwfn installed on your remote server.

What's New in Magpie

1.09

October 8, 2026

Magpie 1.09 brings a revised iPhone workspace, faster CUBE loading and force-field optimisation, along with corrections to surface colours, bond recognition and Apple Pencil editing: • Redesigned the iPhone workspace to make better use of the smaller screen and give the 3D view more room. Results and geometry editing controls now appear in a resizable left sidebar, with toolbar buttons to switch between files and results or hide the sidebar. • GPU acceleration is now used automatically for all molecular orbital, electrostatic potential and IGMH surfaces. • Improved CUBE file loading and reduced memory use during parsing. • Corrected colour interpolation on IGMH surfaces. • Improved force-field optimisation performance. • Improved aromatic bond recognition for nitrogen-containing rings and automatic bond detection involving hydrogen. • Fixed incorrect lighting when snapping or adding atoms with Apple Pencil. • Switching molecular orbitals now preserves your selected surface opacity.
