Field notes
The landing page describes a Mac app activated by highlighting a word, name, or equation in a website, PDF, or notes; users can also type a topic. Explanations are presented as tailored to the surrounding reading, with sources, follow-up questions, related ideas, and a local lookup history for review. Examples contrast “depression” in economics and psychology and show topic-specific views such as an idea’s “Opportunity cost” breakdown. These are site-described capabilities, not independently tested here.
