What's New in RayMol

1.13.0

October 22, 2026

Studio lights: light your molecule like a photo studio. • Up to six spot lights around the molecule, each with its own place, colour, warmth, beam, brightness and shadow. Your colours, materials and settings stay exactly as they are. • Seven presets to start from: three-point, softbox, spotlight, Rembrandt, neon, sunset and underlight. • Lights mode: drag a light's knob on the molecule, pinch it to move it closer, and long-press the molecule to place a highlight. On iPhone the light menu sits in the Lights bar with a pull-up editor; on iPad the orbit view and inspector float over the scene. • Coloured shadows, one per light: a red light's shadow is where red doesn't reach. • Haze and floating dust fill the beams, and shadowed lights cast light shafts through the haze. • Sessions and scenes save the lights, and scene movies blend from one lighting setup to the next. Also in this release: • SNFG glycan cartoons: each sugar drawn as its 3D SNFG symbol, plus a glycan topology view. • Movie export with quality presets, up to 4K on iPad. • Use your own MSA server for structure prediction. • Share Structure lets you choose which objects to share. • Notes open full screen, and the iPhone camera button fades out while you work. • After an interrupted session restore, RayMol offers to start empty. • Fixed: glass on spheres and ball-and-stick, background gradients, labels over transparent surfaces, and smart punctuation in the console.

User reviews

What I’ve wanted for so long!

Pymol is my go to visualization tool. But that has meant I could only work/view on my desktop. The iPad is in many ways a better interface for this sort of work. Now, finally, I can view structures using familiar PyMOL concepts on both my desktop and iPad. There are some glitches to be sure, but this is fresh software with a great future! Thank you!
