What's included

Everything in one app.
Nothing held back.

Native PDF reader

Highlights, underlines, comments, ink annotations, and bookmarks — written by PDFKit, not a web view.

Markdown notes

Side-by-side with the PDF. LaTeX math, tables, code blocks, and image embeds. Stored as plain Markdown.

Full-text search

Across titles, authors, abstracts, notes, highlights, and the PDF body. Indexed locally.

WebDAV sync

Optional. Bring your own server — Nextcloud, Synology, Fastmail, or any standard WebDAV endpoint.

Rolling backups

Up to seven local snapshots. Manual snapshot from Settings any time. Backups stay on your Mac.

Open exports

BibTeX, RIS, Markdown, and full project bundles. Your data isn't locked behind a vendor format.
