About Researchly
Researchly is a privacy focused research and publication manager for students, academics, and curious readers. The app combines paper search, personal library organization, PDF attachments, citation creation, publication tracking, and deeper research understanding in one calm native experience. SEARCH AND SAVE Papers can be found by DOI, title, author, or keyword. Metadata, abstracts, and PDFs can be saved in a searchable library. Sorting and filters keep large collections manageable. IMPORT WITHOUT BUSYWORK Publications can be imported from ORCID and Zotero. Supported file formats include BibTeX, BibLaTeX, RIS, CSL JSON, EndNote XML, NBIB, MODS, RDF, MARC, plain text, and PDF. Items can be reviewed before import, while duplicate detection keeps the library organized. CITE WITH CONFIDENCE Ready to use citations can be created from the full Citation Style Language catalog with more than 10,000 styles. Available formats include APA, MLA, IEEE, Chicago, Nature, BibTeX, and BibLaTeX. Results can be copied or shared. UNDERSTAND MORE Concise summaries, key highlights, and limitations can be generated for supported papers. Supported summaries can be translated on device. Publications, citations, and H-index can be tracked over time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The local library is encrypted on the device. Cloud sync stays off until enabled. Signing in enables library sync across iPhone and iPad. Paid plans add encrypted PDF sync. Researchly does not sell reading or search history. BUILT FOR APPLE DEVICES The native SwiftUI experience includes widgets, Live Activities, dynamic windowing, Apple Intelligence support, on-device translation, accessibility support, and ten interface languages. Useful offline tools are available for free. Pro and Max plans add higher online limits, cloud intelligence, ORCID and Zotero imports, and encrypted PDF sync. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled through the associated Apple account.
