NumberReader
Read the real AlphaFold confidence numbers off human haemoglobin: guess how sure the model is for a region, then see its actual per-residue pLDDT and pairwise PAE — computed live from the model — and say it plainly: a prediction, not an experiment (ages 15–18).

How we build them
Each app sits on top of FoldKit, a shared open-source Swift library — the AlphaFold Database client, the Metal rendering pipeline, the reusable SwiftUI chrome. We don't copy-paste; we reuse. Each web tool is a zero-install re-implementation that fetches public data directly to your browser (or runs entirely offline), never through a server of ours. All source code is private during build-out and goes public at v1.0 under Apache 2.0; the research archive content is CC BY 4.0.
