Labbook.io — The Lab Notebook with Handwriting, Voice & Tamper-Proof Records
Labbook.io is the electronic lab notebook built for how scientists actually work. Type observations, sketch diagrams with your stylus, dictate notes hands-free — and every entry is cryptographically sealed so your data can never be silently altered.
Features
- Handwriting & Drawing — Write and sketch naturally with your stylus or finger. Pressure-sensitive, instant, no lag.
- Voice Input — Record observations and get automatic transcription. Audio and transcript stored together.
- Tamper-Proof Records — Every committed entry is SHA-256 hash-chained. If anyone alters, deletes, or reorders an entry, it is immediately detectable.
- Full-Text Search — Find any entry instantly across all notebooks, projects, and experiments.
- Data Tables & Graphs — Import CSV or Google Sheets data. Visualize with built-in graphing.
- PDF & JSON Export — Export entries as PDF with hash metadata. No vendor lock-in.
- Image Annotation — Upload and annotate gel photos, microscope images, and instrument readings.
- Organized Hierarchy — Notebook → Project → Experiment → Entry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an electronic lab notebook?
An electronic lab notebook (ELN) is a digital replacement for the paper lab notebook scientists use to document experiments, observations, and results.
How is Labbook.io different from other ELNs?
Labbook.io supports handwriting and voice input natively, every committed entry is cryptographically hash-chained, and it is priced for researchers, not enterprise procurement departments.
What does hash-chain integrity mean?
When you commit an entry, Labbook.io computes a cryptographic hash of the content, then chains it to the hash of the previous entry. If anyone changes any entry, the chain breaks and tampering is immediately detectable.
Is Labbook.io suitable for NIH-funded research?
Yes. Labbook.io provides immutable versioning, timestamped audit trails, unique user accounts, and data export in human-readable formats — key requirements for NIH ELN compliance.
