MetaWin is free, open source, multi-platform software for conducting the quantitative meta-analysis portion of research synthesis. It has been rewritten from scratch relative to earlier versions. The new version is written entirely in Python. Single file executable versions of the software for Windows and Mac operating systems can be downloaded from https://www.metawinsoft.com, which also contains a copy of the manual/help file.

The MetaWin code has dependencies on only a few key packages:
- PyQt6 is used for construction of the GUI
- NumPy and SciPy are used for efficient numerical and statistical computation
- Matplotlib is used for creation of graphs and figures
In addition, the downloadable executables at https://www.metawinsoft.com are built using PyInstaller.
