What it does
- Search by title, author, tag, collection, full text, or meaning (semantic search with local, OpenAI, Gemini, or Ollama embeddings)
- Read metadata, BibTeX, full text, and page ranges of PDFs, with page images where text extraction garbles math, figures, and tables
- Annotate. highlights and area boxes placed on the exact words, figure, table, or equation; notes; PDF annotation extraction
- Write. add papers by DOI, URL, ISBN, BibTeX, or file (with open-access PDFs), manage collections and tags, merge duplicates
- Local or web. in local mode reads come straight from zotero.sqlite; writes go to the running Zotero 10+ or through the web API
