About PaperSense

Turn a 30-page scientific text into a clear summary and a list of core concepts explained at graduate-textbook level. PaperSense reads the source for you and delivers what matters: the argument, the method, the findings, and the terminology you would otherwise look up on Wikipedia. Built for graduate students, doctoral candidates, postdocs, clinicians, and anyone whose reading list grows faster than their reading time. What you get For every document you import, PaperSense produces three things: a structured summary in three to five paragraphs, five to twelve key concepts extracted from the text, and a graduate-textbook-level explanation for each concept. Tap any concept in the sidebar to see its definition, its role in the source, and its wider context in the field. How it works Import a PDF from Files, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or your document scanner. Analysis runs in seconds. The original document is preserved with a full-featured viewer, so you can jump between the analysis and the source at any time. Your notes and highlights stay attached. Output in your language, or the source language Read a German source and get the analysis in English. Read a Chinese source and get the analysis in Spanish. Or set output to "same as source" and let PaperSense detect the language automatically. Currently supported: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese. Your library, everywhere Every analyzed document stays organized in your personal library, synced across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud. Search across all your analyses. Filter by field, author, or concept. Once analyzed, everything works offline — perfect for commutes and flights. Flexible pricing Basic includes 15 analyses per month at 3.99 EUR per month or 39.99 EUR per year. Pro includes 50 analyses per month at 9.99 EUR per month or 99.99 EUR per year. Upgrade or downgrade any time. Every new user gets a free welcome credit — no subscription required to try the app first. Bring your own key Advanced users can unlock BYOK mode with a one-time purchase of 14.99 EUR, then use their own OpenAI API key for analyses without a monthly cap.
