Livebook

Interactive notebooks to automate code and data workflows

About Livebook

Livebook is a realtime collaborative notebook app, based on Markdown, for automating code and data workflows with Elixir. Notebooks mix prose, code, and rich output with interactive charts, tables, maps, and diagrams, smart cells for high-level tasks, and reproducible execution that tracks stale state. Teams use it to share knowledge, prototype machine learning models, query databases, deploy apps, and debug systems. Livebook is open source and free, installs in a minute, and runs on your machine or in the cloud.
