PapyrAI
Read research, feed-first
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn your PDF library into a scrollable AI-summarised feed. All AI runs on-device — nothing uploaded. First 2 papers free, then unlock unlimited for a one-time price.
Your research library, redesigned as a feed.
PapyrAI turns any folder of PDFs into an Instagram-style scroll with AI-generated summaries, hero art, and one-page deep dives. Every paper gets a 3-bullet TL;DR you can skim in seconds and a structured one-pager for when you're ready to go deeper.
Point PapyrAI at a folder in iCloud Drive to keep your library in sync between iPhone and iPad.
WHAT YOU GET
• 3-bullet TL;DR on every card: problem, method, finding
• One-page deep dive: abstract, methods, results, limitations, takeaway
• Ask the paper anything — chat grounded in its own text
• Compare two papers side-by-side
• Timeline view organised by publication year
• Topic clusters that group your library automatically
• Hero art generated per paper by Apple Intelligence
• Import from arXiv with a single URL paste
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Everything runs on-device. Nothing is uploaded. No account. No cloud dependency for AI features.
FREEMIUM
