Avogadro is an advanced molecular editor designed for cross-platform use in computational chemistry, molecular modeling, education, bioinformatics, materials science, and related areas. It offers flexible rendering and a powerful plugin architecture. Avogadro's codebase is split across a libraries repository and an application repository. The new code architecture provides a high-performance rendering engine, modern code development, and significantly improved speed and stability. We also maintain a beta Flatpak for Linux that is updated with the lastest changes every week or two.
