Fihris keeps the citation attached to the page

Field notes

Fihris describes a local-first workflow for importing PDFs or BibTeX files, marking pages with Apple Pencil, querying a paper collection, and drafting a LaTeX manuscript beside the source library. Its retrieval flow is presented as passage-limited: each claim carries a citation chip that opens the source page, while the homepage gives an example collection of 12 papers and says seven scholarly sources can be searched at once. The site also lists on-device, Apple private-cloud, relay, and user-key routes for answering questions.
