What's New in Version 4.0.0 CleverGhost 4.0 introduces two major features: BibGhost — a full reference manager built right into the app — and Ask Library, which lets you have a conversation with your entire PDF collection. BIBGHOST — REFERENCE MANAGEMENT, INTEGRATED Your citations now live where your PDFs do. BibGhost gives you a complete personal reference library without ever leaving CleverGhost. If you use BibDesk, Zotero, or Papers purely to manage a local .bib file, BibGhost does everything you need — and it's already inside CleverGhost. • Drop any academic PDF and get a fully verified BibTeX entry in seconds — authors, title, journal, DOI, arXiv ID — cross-checked against CrossRef, OpenAlex, arXiv, and HAL • Extract every reference from a paper as a clean, publication-ready bibliography for your LaTeX project • Citations in your Smart Library remember their source PDF — right-click to open or locate the original document instantly • The smart PDF picker scores your entire library by DOI, arXiv ID, title similarity, and author match to suggest the right PDF for any citation • Full inline editing, star and colour labels, import and export any .bib file ONE-CLICK BIBLIOGRAPHY FROM ANY PDF No DOI? No problem. Drop any document — preprints, internal reports, unpublished manuscripts — and CleverGhost extracts every reference, verifies each one against CrossRef, arXiv, and HAL, and hands you a publication-ready bibliography. One click, zero manual work. ASK LIBRARY — TALK TO YOUR RESEARCH Your library can now answer questions. Ask anything — "Which of my papers discuss phase transitions?" — and CleverGhost searches across every indexed PDF instantly. • Natural language questions across your entire collection — no keyword guessing, no folder browsing • Three retrieval modes: Relevant for deep semantic matching, Diverse to surface results across more papers, Hybrid to combine keyword and semantic search • Follow-up questions supported — the assistant remembers the conversation context • Fully on-device — your PDFs never leave your Mac ENHANCEMENTS • Next-Gen OCR — Apple Vision framework for faster, more accurate text extraction, especially on scientific papers with complex layouts or garbled fonts • Hybrid Extraction — on-device AI parsing blended with authoritative online metadata for locally accurate, globally verified references • Citation Preview — APA, MLA, and Chicago styles; LaTeX accents render as proper Unicode (é, ö, ñ, š) • Intelligent Deduplication — DOI matching, title fingerprinting, and semantic content comparison • Enhanced Categorisation — sharper distinction between Scientific Papers, Textbooks, and Theses with automatic metadata tagging • Built-in Compressor — select any files in your Smart Library and compress in one click PRIVACY All AI runs entirely on your device via Apple Intelligence. Only bibliographic metadata — title, DOI, arXiv ID — is ever sent to public academic databases, with your explicit permission, revocable at any time.

CleverGhost gets cleverer! We’ve supercharged your workflow with the new Smart Library—an intelligent document manager that lives right on your Mac. Simply drop in your messy folder of PDFs, and CleverGhost’s local AI will instantly analyze, deduce, and organize everything for you. It automatically detects duplicates (even with different filenames!), categorizes papers by topic (Finance, Academic, Medical), and builds a searchable knowledge base—all without your data ever leaving your device. It’s like having a meticulous digital librarian organizing your files 24/7. We've also significantly upgraded the Core AI Intelligence. Your local research assistant is now faster, more helpful, and smoother than ever—answering complex queries about your documents with higher accuracy and zero unnecessary refusals. It’s the smartest, most private way to work.
