The Isolation with Migration (IM) programs (e.g., IMa2) have been utilized extensively by evolutionary biologists for model-based inference of demographic parameters including effective population sizes, migration rates, and divergence times. Here, we describe a graphical user interface for the latest IM program. IMGui provides a comprehensive set of tools for performing demographic analyses, tracking progress of runs, and visualizing results. Developed using node. js and the Electron framework, IMGui is an application that runs on any desktop operating system, and is available for download at https://github.com/jaredgk/IMgui-electron-packages.
