Why cross-device matters

Built for the way research actually moves.

A plasmid doesn't live on one machine. You design at your desk, check a construct on the bench, and think through a cloning strategy on the train home. Until now, your map stayed behind at the desktop.

PlasmidViewer Pro is built to be truly native on Mac, iPhone and iPad at once — not a website squeezed into a phone, not a viewer bolted onto a login. The same maps, the same enzymes, the same crisp rendering, whether you're on a 27-inch display or the phone in your pocket.

"The lab moved. Your tools should too."

See it any way you think

One sequence. Three ways to see it.

Switch between a circular map, a linear map and an annotated sequence in a tap. Restriction sites, features, labels, ORFs and a ruler — show or hide any of them from a single View sidebar, exactly the way you’d expect. Pinch to zoom. Pan anywhere. Select a feature or a cut site to inspect it up close.

Circular map

The classic plasmid view — features, cut sites and labels laid around the ring, right where you expect them.

Linear map

Stretch the construct out end to end to follow features and restriction sites along the sequence.

Annotated sequence

Read the bases themselves with features, ORFs and a ruler overlaid, and select anything to inspect it.

The View sidebar

One familiar sidebar controls everything on the map — show or hide enzymes, features, labels, the ruler and ORFs, and scope which enzyme set is in play. It's right where you'd reach for it.

Circular · Linear · Annotated · your call

Pinch, pan, select

Zoom into any region, pan across the whole map, and tap a feature or cut site to see its details.

Restriction analysis, full stop

Every cut site, right on the map.

Run full restriction-enzyme analysis over a bundled, restriction-enzyme catalog. Scope the map to an enzyme set, or show and hide individual enzymes until the picture is exactly what you need. Cut positions land directly on the circular and linear maps — no separate table to cross-reference, no context lost.

Full enzyme catalog

Analyze against a bundled restriction-enzyme catalog of restriction enzymes — the whole set, on your terms.

Enzyme sets & toggles

Scope the map to an enzyme set, or show and hide individual enzymes until the map reads clearly.

Sites on the map

Cut positions appear directly on the circular and linear maps — nothing to cross-reference.

Opens what you already have

The files you already use. Nothing to convert.

Open binary .dna files, GenBank (.gb / .gbk), FASTA (.fa / .fasta) and raw sequences — and export back to .dna when you're done. Drop in a file and it just opens. The formats your lab already runs on are the formats PlasmidViewer Pro speaks.

Your library, your iCloud

Backed up. Private. Yours.

Save plasmids to your personal library and back them up through your own private iCloud. Your sequences live in your iCloud account — we never collect them, never see them, and never send them anywhere. There's no account to create and nothing to upload to a third-party server.

We can't see your data. That's the point.

Why researchers are switching

Three reasons it fits your bench.

Truly native

Not a browser tab and not a desktop-only install. Real Mac, iPhone and iPad apps that feel at home on each — fast, fluid, and built for touch and trackpad alike.

No account, no cloud middleman

Skip the sign-up wall. Skip the upload. Your work stays in your iCloud, under your control, from the very first tap.

Familiar from the first second

If you’ve used other plasmid editors, you already know how to use this. The View sidebar, the maps, the enzymes — right where you'd reach for them.

Powerful enough for the bench. Simple enough for the train. Priced for one clear decision.

Pricing

Try it free. Subscribe when it earns its place.

The bundled example plasmid (pUC19) is always free to open and explore — every map, every enzyme, no subscription, no sign-in. See exactly how it works before you pay a cent. When you're ready to open your own files, import, save and back up to iCloud, that's PlasmidViewer Pro.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

One subscription

The device that's in your hands.

Your subscription activates PlasmidViewer Pro on one device at a time. Working on your Mac this morning and your iPad tonight? Tap "Use on this device" and the seat moves with you — instantly, from inside the app. Manage Devices shows you where you're active and lets you release a seat whenever you like.

See your plasmid the way you've always wanted to.

Free to explore. On every device you own. Nothing to sign up for.

Download on the App Store

Mac · iPhone · iPad — free example plasmid included.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free to try?

Yes. The example plasmid — every map view and the full restriction-enzyme analysis — is free forever, with no account and no sign-in. A subscription is only needed to open your own files, save, and back up to iCloud.

What files can I open?

binary .dna files, GenBank (.gb / .gbk), FASTA (.fa / .fasta) and raw sequences. You can export back to .dna.

Where is my data stored?

In your own private iCloud. We never collect, see, or transmit your sequences to any third-party server. There's no account and no analytics.

Does it work on all my devices?

Yes — it's a native app for Mac, iPhone and iPad. One subscription keeps you active on one device at a time, and you can move that active device instantly from inside the app.

How much is it?

PlasmidViewer Pro is $19.99/month, auto-renewing, cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

What kind of app is it?

The map views and the View sidebar will feel immediately familiar. PlasmidViewer Pro is a focused, native viewer built to travel across your Apple devices with your data staying private in your own iCloud.
