Field notes
MolQuill targets a specific interoperability gap by supporting CDX and CDXML alongside molfile, SDF, RXN, and SMILES. Its browser editor exposes chemistry-oriented calculations while drawing, including exact mass, molecular weight, m/z, and elemental analysis. The page says files remain local, while the paid desktop edition adds native dialogs, same-file saving, recent files, and offline use.
