BenchMate is the lab companion built for students. Track experiments, run timers, calculate solutions and take notes — everything tied together so you never lose context at the bench. More than a calculator. More than a timer. BenchMate brings every tool you need into a single workflow, so your calculations, observations and timing data all link back to the experiment you're running. EXPERIMENT TRACKING Keep your lab work organised in one place. Link calculations, timers and notes to each experiment for clean, complete documentation you can actually look back on. MASS & MOLARITY CALCULATOR Work out molarity from mass and volume, find the mass needed for a target molarity, and run C1V1 = C2V2 dilutions with step-by-step explanations that show how you got there. MULTI-TIMER SYSTEM Run 3 to 5 timers at once with custom labels. Background notifications keep you on track even when the app is closed, and every timer can be linked to the experiment it belongs to. STOPWATCH WITH LAPS Track elapsed time with labelled laps. Timing data saves automatically to your experiment notes — no more scribbling on gloves. QUICK NOTES Capture observations, reminders and ideas the moment they happen. Tag notes, link them to experiments and attach photos for visual documentation. PRE-MADE BUFFER RECIPES Common formulations like PBS, Tris-HCl and TAE are ready to go. Calculate volumes for the scale you need and save the results straight to your experiment. UNIT CONVERTER Convert between mass, volume and concentration units with confidence. Built for the conversions you actually do at the bench. CHEMICAL FORMULA VIEWER Quick reference for chemical formulas while you work — no more switching apps mid-experiment. BUILT FOR THE BENCH • Works fully offline — no signal in the basement lab? No problem. • Clean, distraction-free interface designed for gloved hands and quick glances. • Your data stays on your device. STUDENT PRICING Whether you're running your first titration or deep into a thesis project, BenchMate keeps your lab work organised, accurate and at your fingertips.
