Papers

Overview

Papers is an Apple Design Award and Ars Design Award winning solution for managing literature and documents.

Import any article, or any other document supported by Papers and it is automatically renamed and organized according to your preferences.

When you import references that include a link to the article online, Papers even automatically downloads the full-text PDF and a snapshot of the web version of the article for offline reading!

Have multiple documents open in tabs for reading, but focus on the task at hand: read in full screen using the brand new PDF reading mode, highlight in multiple colors, annotate and Papers collects your notes and makes them available for export.

Easily find new content through the 20+ built in search engines, and cite any of your materials when you are writing with just a few keystrokes. Whatever you are reading, annotating or finding, Papers syncs your library between home and work, whether you're using Mac or PC, iPad or iPhone. Staying organized was never this easy.

Papers was first developed by Alexander Griekspoor and Tom Groothuis. While in graduate school they had such difficulty finding a workflow solution that addressed all their needs that they decided to develop one themselves.

Papers has grown tremendously since those humble beginnings, and the team has grown as well. A lot has changed, but the core values, and the goal of creating a revolutionary workflow solution continue to take center stage.
