Focused MATLAB GUI apps for lab workflows.
LabKit gives lab users a launcher-first way to open small, purpose-built apps
for electrochemistry, DIC, image measurement, wearable biosignals, and
neurophysiology, and gait analysis. Each app owns its workflow, plots, result
tables, and exports.
The reusable +labkit foundation stays small: GUI shell helpers, Gamry DTA
loading, thermal source parsing, Intan RHS loading, and biosignal processing
facades.

You can also open the launcher directly in MATLAB Online when you want to inspect or try the current repository without a local clone.
For portable or offline use, download the latest release source zip from the GitHub releases page and run LabKit from the extracted folder.
- Create a standalone folder for LabKit, for example
LabKit/. - Save
labkit_launcher.min that folder. - Open MATLAB in that folder and run:
labkit_launcherUse Latest in the launcher to update from the current main branch,
Release to use the latest stable GitHub release, or Versions to choose a
recent release, tag, or main-branch commit for a deliberate upgrade or
rollback. Keep lab data and exported results in your own project folders; the
LabKit folder is an application runtime folder. During an update, the launcher
moves the current runtime contents into a dated LabKit-previous-* subfolder
before copying the selected LabKit zip into place.
- A single launcher that can start from a folder containing only
labkit_launcher.m. - Checkbox-based multi-app source or P-code packaging from one launcher action.
- Independent apps with stable public commands and app-owned workflow logic.
- A small shared foundation for GUI shells, DTA loading, RHS loading, and biosignal processing.
- Generated artifacts kept separate from source data and exported results.
A git checkout is only needed for source development, testing, CI work, or reviewing implementation details.

Clone the repository when you need to change source code or run tests:
git clone https://github.com/Pluze/LabKit-MATLAB-Workbench.git
cd LabKit-MATLAB-Workbench
buildtool headlessSee Testing for the supported build tasks and GUI validation limits.
apps/ workflow-specific MATLAB GUI apps
+labkit/ reusable UI, image, thermal, DTA, RHS, and biosignal facades
docs/ human-facing usage, API, architecture, and validation docs
tests/ behavior tests, project contracts, GUI checks, and runner code
Apps are the deliverables. Shared code moves into +labkit only when it is
domain-neutral, app-facing, tested, and useful beyond one workflow.
Source checkouts may also use an ignored private_apps/ workspace for local
private app development. See Private apps for
the generic structure; private app details belong in the private app repository.
