Description
Jupyter Notebooks (with Jupyterlab): write Python code, run it, check the result, interactively. Everything is running locally on your iPad. Includes scipy and sklearn.
Jupyter notebooks are a powerful tool used in education and research. You can write small snippets of Python code and observe the result on screen, combine with paragraphs of text, using Markdown.
Carnets provides a complete, stand-alone, implementation of Jupyter notebooks. Everything runs on your device, using the embedded Python interpreter; you do not need an internet connection. Compared to the standard version (Carnets), this app adds several packages targeted for scientific computation and learning: scipy, sklearn, seaborn and coremltools. You can switch between standard notebooks and the more modern jupyterlab using the Settings app.
Of course, all the packages included with the standard app are present too: numpy, simply, matplotlib... To see the full list of installed packages, type "%pip list" in a code window. You can add more packages using "%pip install packageName", but only if they are pure Python.
You can share your notebooks with other apps and also open notebooks or directories managed by other apps.
Partial list of installed packages: astropy, babel, bokeh, cartopy, cryptography, cvxopt, Fiona, geopandas, geopy, gym, inequality, libpysal, lxml, mapclassify, matplotlib, networkx, nltk, numpy, openCV, pandas, parso, pillow, pyFFTW, pyproj, qutip, rasterio, regex, Rtree, scikit-learn, scipy, seaborn, segregation, shapely, soupsieve, spopt, statsmodels, sympy, wordcloud.

Ratings and Reviews
Excellent Tool: Help with IOS would be terrific.
I began using this tool recently, as I am taking an online data science course, and I have an iPad as my computer. So far the libraries I need are all present, and additional ones can be installed using the !pip install command.
A challenge for me has been how to specific a path to find Excel data I need to access on iOS. I need to use the path command to specify the directory holding the Excel file. It would be helpful if the author produced a short paper showing how to specify the path for OneDrive (I have multiple accounts for OneDrive.), Dropbox, the On My , iPad Files App, Google Drive.
Literally Files and Safari mashed on top of each other.
I dunno what to say. It’s got zero UX. It’s not an actual product. It’s two existing products that feel like an internship case study barfed into the App Store.
It’s quite literally an embedded Jupyter notebook iframe, which pulls from — who knows, online? The web? It doesn’t ever say.
The app opens in a file manager of iOS files with literally no explanation, No branding, no login, no logo (which indicates the lack of any real product)… No navigation into any actual notebook.
Most of all, no way to create a notebook 🤣. It’s devoid of explanation or purpose or real intent. What did the devs expect the user to do once they got in? We may never n know. The iframe nav and menu inside an already compiled iOS app is — to be totally honest — mind boggling to see as something that has launched with approval on the App Store.
I truly see no benefit to the abstract and ubiquitous mashed potato ux this thing throws you in once you find an existing notebook to use. How do you add files, where’s your dataframe, are there any possible working directories? I can’t see a plausible or ethical justification for charging for an upgrade on this either as you’d simply be buying two prebuilt apps that already exist in your phone: Files and your browser.
Developer Response ,
I just wish to reassure you on a few points:
- As it says in the app description and the tagline, all computations are running locally, on your iPhone or iPad. You can run Carnets without an internet connection, and several users are actually doing so. The "Jupyter notebook iframe" is pulled from a server running on your own device.
- To create a notebook, you just click on the "Create document" button.
- There are no "charges for an upgrade", and no plans to ever introduce one.
Unable to install paramiko
Would be 5 stars otherwise but I see a constant error while trying to “ !pip install paramiko”. But I am able to install other pip packages just fine. The error is “Too many Python scripts”. Could this be fixed or at least show some meaningful messages?
