Library · Your SchLibs, as living data
Schematic Symbols
Consolidate all your SchLibs into a single, organised library. With fast search, tags, and advanced editing and organisation tools, every symbol your team owns can finally be as tidy as your wildest dreams.
SidebandGeneric library
Never redraw a generic symbol again
Over 80% of the symbols in any schematic are standard parts: resistors, capacitors, connectors, test points. There is no reason to redraw them, or to copy-paste them out of the last project.
Sideband ships over 80 generic symbols, plus more than 1000 header and connector symbols, ready to search and place. Pull them into your own library, restyle them to your house style, and they are yours.
Inspection
Your data, open for you to build on
Everything Sideband extracts from your schematic libraries is yours to inspect and reuse. The full parsed SchLib sits on the Inspection tab as JSON, down to pin coordinates in mils, and the same data is available over the API, so you can extend the functionality of the app on top of it.
We don't keep your data hostage, and we don't limit what you can do with it on our platform.

Restyler
One look across every schematic
The symbol restyler rewrites every symbol's graphical elements in a single pass, so your patchwork of libraries instantly looks like one beautiful, cohesive whole. Pick a built-in theme or set your own outline, fill and text colours.
Pick a theme; every symbol in the library follows in one pass.
Restyler · Fonts
Lettering your whole team can read
The restyler supports widely adopted accessible fonts such as Atkinson Hyperlegible, Lexend, Andika and OpenDyslexic, enabling team members with vision impairment or dyslexia to use the software comfortably and efficiently, and reducing the risk of errors for everyone else.
