The Analysis Platform
The behavioral analysis platform that works with the videos you already have — from any camera, any vendor, any assay. Free to use. Pay only minimal compute and storage costs — analyzing your existing video is inexpensive by design.
A New Model
Every behavioral lab is sitting on years of video. MouseOS turns that archive — and every video you record tomorrow — into quantified, publication-ready behavioral data. The software is free. There are no license fees, no annual subscriptions, no per-seat pricing, no locked-in hardware. You pay only for the cloud compute and storage your analyses actually use.
Universal Compatibility
Overhead or side-view. Webcam or scientific camera. Visible light or infrared. Old archived recordings or this morning's session. MouseOS ingests standard video formats directly — no proprietary conversion, no re-recording your experiments, no new hardware required to get started.
Re-analyze years of existing recordings with modern AI tooling — and extract measures your original software never reported.
MouseOS is hardware-agnostic. Your current cameras, arenas, and workflows work as-is from day one.
When you want deeper measures — high-resolution imaging, expression and identity, 24/7 monitoring — our PolarEye hardware plugs straight into the same platform.
Full-Suite Analysis
MouseOS is built around the measurement toolkit behavioral researchers expect from premium commercial software — as a free, cloud-based platform, now in early access.
Position, velocity, distance traveled, zone occupancy, and thigmotaxis for open field, elevated plus maze, Y-maze, three-chamber social, novel object recognition, and custom arenas.
AI-driven, multi-point body-part tracking without physical markers or manual digitization. Import and export in formats compatible with the open-source tools you already use, including DeepLabCut and SLEAP.
Stride, stance, swing, cadence, interlimb coordination, and step-sequence regularity from runway or treadmill video, with parameter naming conventions researchers already know.
Automated ethogram scoring of grooming, rearing, freezing, social interaction, and custom behaviors, with human-in-the-loop review to validate every classifier against your own scoring criteria.
Identity-preserving tracking of group-housed animals for social behavior and home cage studies.
Activity, sleep/wake patterns, and behavioral trajectories across hours, days, and study arms.
Design analysis workflows visually; adjust parameters and re-run in seconds.
Share projects, annotate results, review scoring as a team; every analysis is versioned and reproducible.
The Honest Answer
Because the science gets better when analysis stops being a budget line. Behavioral software licenses can cost more than the experiments they analyze — and they lock labs into whatever hardware the license came with. We think that's backwards.
MouseOS is free for analyzing your existing videos because we want your science on the platform. Some labs will eventually want richer data than standard video can provide — and our high-resolution hardware, starting with PolarEye, is there when they do. Most of all, a platform that welcomes every video, from every lab, is how the field builds toward something bigger.
Where This Leads
MouseOS isn't just an analysis tool — it's the front door to a platform designed around a mission: dramatically reduce animal use while improving scientific outcomes. Standardized, high-fidelity behavioral quantification at scale is the foundation for Virtual Control Groups — computational control cohorts that let you run studies with fewer animals, faster timelines, and better statistics.
Pricing
MouseOS is free. No license fees, no subscriptions, no per-seat pricing. Sign up and start analyzing the videos you already have.
You pay only for the sessions you analyze — minimal metered compute plus the storage your data occupies. Inexpensive by design: transparent usage pricing, no minimums, no commitments. Grant-friendly prepaid credits for academic labs. Delete your data anytime.
PolarEye streams directly into MouseOS. One platform for everything — from a single archived video to a fully instrumented vivarium.
Enterprise
For pharmaceutical and enterprise customers, MouseOS supports on-premises deployment or deployment inside your own cloud environment — AWS, Azure, or GCP — with your data never leaving your control. Your compound structures, dose ranges, and screening results stay yours, always.
Reproducibility tooling — versioned datasets, logged analysis runs, and exportable audit trails — supports GLP-style documentation requirements.
