Quote cards

Pull 5–12 key quotes per source, each with context and a “why it matters” note you can actually use.

Search + organize

Full-text search, tags, domains, and collections make it easy to build a personal research database.

Cite on demand

Copy citations (APA/MLA/Chicago) and export to BibTeX/RIS/CSL-JSON when you need to publish or collaborate.

Built for long reads

URLs, papers, and PDFs supported. Processing runs in the background, and your library stays searchable.
