// apps — web, desktop, tablet, phone, browser
Your library, wherever you read.
Every app opens the same projects, papers, notes and highlights. Use the big screen to write and compare, the tablet to read closely, the phone to catch up, and the browser to save what you find.
The whole workspace, nothing to install.
The web app is where everything lives. It is the only place you need if you work from one computer, and the home base for everything the other apps sync to.
- Library, reader, summaries and cited questions
- Writing in rich text, LaTeX or Typst, with citations from the library
- Comparisons, the citation graph, analytics and progress
- People, roles, project settings and credits
Your library and reader, with your papers on disk.
Your projects, papers, summaries and PDFs in a native window. Keep chosen projects on your machine and keep reading on a plane, in the archive, or anywhere the Wi-Fi gives up.
- Read and add notes offline; changes send when you reconnect
- Folders, papers and the reader side by side
- Conflicting edits kept for you to resolve
// 03 tablet + phone — iPadOS · iOS · Android
Read closely on one. Catch up on the other.
One native app that reshapes itself for the screen. Asking, writing, the graph and project administration stay on the web, where the screen fits them.
