Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this release happen. Open science is a team effort! Got ideas on where to go next? 🧪 ⚗️
Avogadro 2.0 isn't just a viewer and editor — it's an extensible platform for chemistry
A plugin system lets you add ML & electrostatic models, new builders and tools. Already over 20 available:
- semi-empirical calculations via XTB & CREST
- ML potentials
- crystal packing & surface slab generation
- add solvent, build nanotubes, and more.
Build the tools you need: https://avogadro.cc/develop/plugins

Sometimes you just want to see a molecule move.
Run a quick MD simulation without leaving Avogadro — no scripts, no command line, no setup. The new auto-optimize tool includes a dynamics mode. Watch your molecule move and relax in real time. Great for teaching. Great for intuition. Just fun to watch.
Visualize molecular orbitals and electron density easily with Avogadro 2.0.
Volumetric rendering of orbitals, plus van der Waals, solvent-accessible and solvent-excluded surfaces for biomolecular work. See the chemistry, not just the atoms.
