Features

• Add citations with automatic lookup by DOI, PMID, PMCID, and URL.
• Prompt for missing metadata only when automatic resolution cannot complete a record.
• Connect an optional LLM provider, such as Ollama or an OpenAI-compatible API, for citation cleanup and discovery.
• Import and export citations as plain text, BibTeX, RIS, or CSL JSON.
• Discover citations from clipboard text, a pasted web URL, or a clipboard image when LLM vision is enabled.
• Track figures separately while storing their source as a citation entry.
• Export references in a numbered bibliography format and figures with citation links.
• Persist everything locally in SQLite.
