Field notes
The stated workflow accepts PDFs, plain-text files, direct paper links, and photographed pages, then divides the material into swipeable cards. Its examples place explanations next to methods, equations, and figures rather than reducing a paper to a single abstract. The homepage says the free tier covers one paper every 30 days, while paid plans add volume, offline downloads, bookmarks, and highlights.
