Hashiya: Research Papers
Reference Manager & PDF Notes
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Find papers, save them offline, read their PDFs beside your notes, group them into collections and export BibTeX for Overleaf. In English and Arabic.
Hashiya helps master's and PhD students keep their research in one place, from finding a paper to tracking what they've read. The name is the Arabic ḥāshiya: the commentary scholars wrote in the margins of books.
FIND ANY PAPER
• Search millions of scholarly works from the OpenAlex catalog.
• Sort by relevance, most cited or newest, and filter by year or open access.
• Paste a DOI, an arXiv ID or a link to go straight to a paper.
• Share a paper's page from Safari to add it without leaving the browser.
PREVIEW, THEN SAVE
• See the abstract, authors, venue, year and citation count before you save.
• Open the paper's DOI page or its open-access PDF when one is available.
YOUR LIBRARY, OFFLINE
• Saved papers stay on your device and work without a connection.
• Search your library by words from a title, author, abstract or venue. Arabic search ignores diacritics and letter variants.
• Swipe to remove a paper, with Undo.
TRACK YOUR READING
• Mark each paper To read, Reading or Read.
• Filter your library by status, with a count for each.
MADE FOR ARABIC AND ENGLISH
• Full Arabic and English interfaces with right-to-left layouts.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no tracking and no ads. Your library never leaves your device.
Paper data comes from OpenAlex (openalex.org), a free and open catalog of scholarly works.
