Starting Your Library
Add and organize your research materials with ease. Here's how to begin populating and managing your collection.
Adding items to your library
You can add PDF files and web links to your library. All items are stored locally on your computer for easy offline access.
To add a new item:
- Click the "Add item" button at the top of your library window.
- In the modal that appears, either enter a web link, or select a PDF file from your computer.
- If you're in a specific category, the item will be added there. Otherwise, it will go to "Uncategorized."
The app will automatically parse and process your new items, adding them to your library. You'll see a progress message in the bottom-right corner of the window.
