About ChemSearch

ChemSearch is an open-source chemistry reference and utility app for Android. Search compounds, inspect structures, browse offline references, and use practical chemistry tools all in one place.

SEARCH
Search PubChem by name, CAS number, formula, CID, or structure. Includes autosuggestions, spelling matches, caching, and specific error diagnostics.
Advanced Search filters by elements (included/excluded), molecular weight, charge, 3D data, GHS hazards, and name text. Result pages provide identifiers, structures, safety data, synonyms, and summaries with tap-to-copy actions. Expanding a result also reveals the compound's published spectra (NMR, IR, mass, UV, and Raman) grouped by technique.

STRUCTURE & ISOMER SEARCH
• Structure Search: Draw molecules with atoms, bonds, charges, and templates. Search PubChem for exact, substructure, superstructure, or similarity matches. Import/export SMILES, InChI, and MOL files.
• Isomer Search: Search compounds by molecular formula. View molar mass, atom counts, and degrees of unsaturation. Sort by relevance or name.

PERIODIC TABLE
Browse all 118 elements with category filters, shell diagrams, physical properties, and spectra. Interactive heatmaps display trends for electronegativity, atomic radius, ionization energy, density, melting point, and boiling point (in K, °C, or °F) with top-five rankings.

CHEMICAL DATABASE
Offline database with 1500+ substances, 200+ ions, 120+ functional groups, and 300+ reactions. Covers acids, salts, oxides, ores, polymers, amino acids, vitamins, alkaloids, drugs, esters, organometallics, and silicates. Search by name, alias, or formula.

CHEMISTRY TOOLS
Includes 15 tools for calculations and reference:
• Molar Mass Calculator
• Empirical Formula Finder
• Oxidation State Finder
• pH / pOH Calculator
• Reaction Balancer
• Precipitate Predictor
• Reaction Predictor
• Limiting Reagent
• Percent Yield
• Reaction Scaling
• Dilution Calculator
• Ideal Gas Law
• SMILES Visualizer
• 3D Molecule Viewer
• Compare Compounds
Stoichiometry tools calculate reagent consumption, leftovers, and atom economy.

LIBRARY & RECENT SEARCHES
Save compounds as Favorites or Downloads (Basic, Structures, or Complete) for offline use. Long-press to copy formulas, open in PubChem, or delete. Export and backup library data via CSV or JSON. Search history supports pinning, sorting, and grouping.

HOME SCREEN & WIDGETS
• Compound of the Day: Daily compound card with formula and typical uses.
• Widgets: Compound of the Day and Random Compound (with refresh button).
• Shortcuts: App-launcher shortcuts to Search, Library, Tools, and Settings.
• Explore: Quick access to Structure Search, Isomer Search, Periodic Table, and Database.

DISPLAY & OPTIONAL AI
• Themes: Light, Dark, AMOLED true-black, 5 color accents, and card or flat layouts.
• Optional AI: Fetch compound summaries via Google Gemini, Groq, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or Mistral AI using your own API key.
• Preferences: Configurable temperature units (K, °C, °F), haptics, and cache controls.

LOCALIZATION
Available in 16 languages: English, Bengali, Danish, German, Greek, Spanish, Finnish, French, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Swedish.

DATA, PRIVACY & LICENSE
• Free and open source under the MIT License.
• No account, analytics, tracking, or app backend. Data stays on your device.
• Network access is only used for external queries (PubChem, Wikipedia, or configured AI).
• For study and reference only; consult official SDS for laboratory work.
Release info Update on Oct 31, 2026
Release notes What's New
• Reaction Predictor: Added single-reactant decomposition predictions with balanced equations and likely products. Supports common cases including hydrogen peroxide, carbonates, bicarbonates, selected hydroxides, chlorates and perchlorates, and selected metal oxides.
• Crash History: View detailed crash reports in Developer Options, including exception traces, device and memory details, and recent app logs. Reports can be copied, shared or deleted.

Improvements & Fixes
• Reaction Predictor: Refreshed input and result cards, with clearer confidence labels and a decomposition example.
• Chemical Database: Added A–Z sorting within categories and a draggable scrollbar; shortened the search hint.
• Compound Details: Added element-specific CPK colours to composition bars and refreshed description cards and action buttons.
• Periodic Table: Added animated electron shells; animation respects Reduce Motion.
• Safety Information: Aligned GHS pictograms for a more consistent layout.
• What's New: Updated the welcome screen and About section with the 1.16.5 changes.

Technical Changes
• Added persistent, app-private crash reports with exception causes, thread dumps, device/build information, memory and storage diagnostics, and recent in-app logs.
• Added crash-report sharing through FileProvider and excluded crash reports from backup and device transfer.
• Added rule-based decomposition prediction and supporting product notes.
• Bumped the release version to 1.16.5 with version code 11605.
