+`matscipy`
+==========
+
+Matscipy is a generic materials science toolbox built around the `Atomic
+Simulation Environment (ASE) <https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/ase/>`__. It provides
+useful routines for electrochemistry, dislocations, fracture mechanics, tribology and others.
+
+Getting started
+---------------
+
+`matscipy` can used in two different modes: As a library in your own Python code or using the command-line interface.
+The command-line interface implements specific workflows on top of the library.
+
+Using the library
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As an example of how to use the programmatic interface, explore the
+`computation of elastic constants <applications/elastic_constants.html>`_ or how to
+`build systems with cracks <applications/fracture_mechanics.html>`_.
+
+Via the command-line interface
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The command line interface packages workflows. Common workflows include the
+`computation of root-mean-square displacements for diffusion problems <cli/diffusion.html>`_ or the
+`quenching of amorphous structures <cli/structure.html>`_.
