openModeller Desktop is a generic framework for carrying out fundamental niche modeling experiments – typically used to predict species distribution given a set of environmental raster layers. The openModeller Desktop application builds on the openModeller library by providing a user-friendly graphical user interface for carrying out niche modeling experiments.

• A layerset manager. This is for creating named collections of layers for use in modeling experiments. Having layers organized in named sets removes the tedium of repeatedly having to select layers from the file system for different model runs.
• An algorithm profile manager. Algorithm profiles let you store the custom parameters you use for running models in a reusable way.
• An experiment designer. The experiment designer allows you to set up an experiment consisting of multiple species and algorithm profiles.
• Many more features.
