Ptbl: Periodic Table

Nov 5, 2026
Source Code

What it does

Ptbl is a GTK4 desktop periodic table. Select an element to browse its physical data, search by symbol or name to jump straight to it, and open Tools for legacy element utilities, now rebuilt for GTK4.

Core atomic and thermal properties come from a bundled snapshot of the PubChem periodic table. Some specialist crystal, electrical and nuclear values are older data still being checked source by source, so treat those as provisional.

Quick Start

Ptbl needs Python 3 with PyGObject and GTK 4 (gtk4 and python3-gobject on Fedora; gir1.2-gtk-4.0 and python3-gi on Debian/Ubuntu).

python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/mavens-group/Ptbl.git
