Don't let these concerns get in the way of perfect record keeping.
| Concern | Applies to Liminal | What you should know |
| I need a lab manager to use it | ❌ | Liminal is built for PI- or student-run labs with no admin overhead. |
| I don't have time for a new tool | ❌ | Initial setup takes under 5 minutes |
| It won't work with our past data. | ❌ | We are working on retroactively creating notebooks from all your past shell history! |
| My lab isn't big enough. | ❌ | Liminal is designed for labs as small as 1 person. |
Lost & undocumented research is a crisis in academia
| Event | Research Lost |
|---|---|
| Poor documentation | 20-25% |
| Student/Staff turnover | 25-35% |
| Poorly designed experiments | 20-25% |
Liminal is a data capture app designed for academic labs to retain and leverage 100% of all the research they do with rigorous standards. Don't lose any more work you do on the shell. Use every keystroke as a tool to teach new scientists and retain knowledge from everyone in your group.
Liminal's vision is to capture all the work you do on your computer so you never need to worry about lab recording standards again.
What is Liminal?
Liminal is a software application designed to help academic scientists get more out of their research by automatically contextualizing and connecting every experiment.
- Reduce research waste by storing lab activity in a contextualized and searchable way
- Sync as many shell/terminal locations as you want to one spot
- Fuzzy-searching to find old work
Is the data secure and who owns it?
You own your data and it is stored on secure cloud storage. We are moving towards allowing you to choose your own storage provider, such as an on-premise storage solution.
