What is Autoplot?

Editorial review
Autoplot is a unified scientific workstation for macOS that combines data import, analysis, plotting, and publishing in a single workspace. It eliminates the need to switch between chatbots, terminals, and image editors by providing a seamless environment where you can fetch, trim, merge data, tweak and re-run analyses, and annotate figures—all while keeping your data private. The built-in AI assistant helps with data wrangling and custom analyses, but never sees your raw values, ensuring full data privacy. The toolkit includes native import for CSV, TSV, and delimited files with live preview, variable management, and Python-based data manipulation. It offers a wide range of plot types: 2D X&Y plots, histograms with fits, heat maps, 3D surfaces, scatter and line plots, categorical charts, and correlation matrices. Analysis tools cover log-binned distributions, power-law fits, CCDF, finite-size scaling, and more. Figures can be annotated with pixel-perfect labels that survive restyles and re-runs, and exported as vector PDF, PNG, or JPG at journal-ready resolutions. Autoplot is available in three tiers: a permanent Free plan with essential plots and 10 AI credits per month, a Plus plan ($7.99/mo) that adds 3D plots, heat maps, categorical charts, and additional analysis methods, and a Pro plan ($17.99/mo) with full features and 1000 AI credits per month. The local toolkit works offline; only the hosted AI assistant and billing require internet.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates copy-paste cycles between multiple tools for a streamlined workflow.
  • Data privacy is ensured: AI assistant runs locally and never sees raw values.
  • Annotations and labels persist across re-runs and restyles, saving time on figure refinement.

Cons

  • Mac-only application; no Windows or Linux support.
  • Free tier includes only 10 AI credits per month, limiting heavy AI usage.

Autoplot FAQ

Can I use Autoplot offline?

Yes, the local toolkit (import, plotting, analysis, export) works without an internet connection. Only the hosted AI assistant, account management, and billing require network access.

How does the AI assistant protect my data privacy?

The assistant reads your intent and dataset schema, but never your raw values. All AI operations run locally on your Mac, and the open-weights model never trains on your input.

What is the difference between Plus and Pro plans?

Plus ($7.99/mo) adds 3D plots, heat maps, categorical charts, and additional analysis methods (CDF/CCDF, x_min diagnostics, FSS, E–S scaling) while keeping 10 AI credits per month. Pro ($17.99/mo) includes all Plus features and raises the AI credit cap to 1000 per month.

Why does Autoplot use credits instead of a message count for the AI assistant?

Different AI tasks have varying computational costs. Credits allow pricing to match the actual work performed—a quick distribution request costs fewer credits than a multi-step analysis with fits and generated scripts.

Can I disable the AI assistant?

Yes, you can disable the assistant at any time. Doing so does not remove any non-AI toolkit features; all plotting, analysis, and export capabilities remain fully functional.

What file formats can I import into Autoplot?

Autoplot supports CSV, TSV, and other delimited text files. You can drag and drop files or import from SFTP. The parser lets you set delimiter, header row, skipped rows, and encoding with a live preview before committing.

Can I export figures in vector format?

Yes, Autoplot exports figures as vector PDF with embedded fonts, as well as PNG and JPG at journal-specified sizes and DPI presets. You can export a single figure or compose multiple figures on a board and export as one.

Does Autoplot support 3D plots?

Yes, 3D plots are available on the Plus and Pro tiers. You can create 3D scatter plots, surface plots, and line plots with interactive rotation, camera control, and base-plane footprints.
