Free · In‑App Purchases
Papyrus Papers is a native Mac and iPad research workspace for reading, annotating, organizing, and citing PDFs.
Import papers and citation records, keep Markdown notes beside each source, search across your library, and turn reading collections into Projects with evidence, roles, templates, history, and export checks.
Local-first by design, with support for BibTeX, RIS, CSL JSON, Markdown export, project bundles, optional iCloud or WebDAV sync, and dated restore points.
