Personal research library

Save it, read it, highlight it, listen to it.

One library for the articles and PDFs you actually want to read. Clean typography, persistent highlights, text-to-speech, and AI chat over your own sources.

No account needed — works in your browser right now. Chrome extension available.

What it actually does

Three things, kept deliberately small. No feed, no recommendations, no inbox.

One library for articles and PDFs

Paste a URL and the page is cleaned with Mozilla Readability. Upload a PDF and it goes into the same library, with text extraction for search and chat.

Highlight and annotate

A distraction-free reader view with persistent highlights and a side panel for notes. Annotations anchor to the exact text you marked so they survive across visits.

Listen to anything you save

Hit Listen on an article or PDF and your browser reads it aloud — voice and rate are controllable. The same control is available from the Chrome extension.

The reader view

Articles get cleaned into a typography-first layout. Select any text to add a note or send it to AI. Press the Listen button to have the page read aloud.

How it works

Three steps from a URL to a library you keep coming back to.

1

Save a source

Paste a link, drop a PDF, or use the Chrome extension to capture the current page in one click.

2

Read, highlight, listen

Open it in the reader view. Highlight what matters, add notes in the side panel, or play it back as audio.

3

Ask and revisit

Generate a summary, chat with the text using your own AI key, and come back to your highlights any time.

FAQ

A few common questions. See the full FAQ →

Do I need an account to try it?

No. The library works in your browser without signing in — articles, PDFs, highlights, and notes are stored locally. Sign in with Google when you want to sync across devices.

Where are my PDFs stored?

For signed-in users, PDFs are uploaded to Cloudflare R2 and accessed through a proxy that enforces ownership. In local mode, the PDF stays in your browser.

How does the AI chat work? Whose API key does it use?

You bring your own key — OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini — and it is stored in your browser. There is also a gateway option and a local-AI mode for development. We never proxy your key through a server.

What does the Chrome extension do?

It captures the page you are on (cleaned via Readability) and saves it to your library. It also exposes the Listen control, so you can have any page read aloud without leaving it.

Can I export my data?

Yes. The About page has an Export button that downloads every article, board, and list scoped to your account as a single JSON file.
