Read papers, not just PDFs.

Features

Built for reading dense papers closely

Annotate, cite, and move on — without breaking your reading flow.

Layered annotation

Highlight, underline, and margin-note independently, each with its own color and layer.

Citation extraction

Automatically pulls author, year, and DOI from a paper so you never type a citation by hand.

Notes handoff

Every highlight can be sent to Euclid Notes with one keystroke, citation already attached.

🔍

Full-text search

Search across every paper in your library at once, not just the one you have open.

Your whole paper library is stored locally, so it's there even without a connection.
