Features
Everything linXiv does, organized around a single library you host yourself.
Search & save
Search arXiv, OpenAlex, or your local library. Resolve any DOI. Keep versioned metadata in your own SQLite database.
Projects & notes
Group papers by research thread. Attach reading notes scoped to each project — one paper can belong to many contexts. Notes render as Markdown, with MathJax math.
Knowledge graph
Explore papers, authors, and tags in an interactive force-directed graph with live physics controls.
Read in-app
Embedded PDF viewer and rich paper detail views. Highlight annotations render as continuous spans, links stay clickable, and full-text search covers downloaded TeX source.
Import & export
Bring in PDFs, BibTeX, and .lxproj archives. Export projects to Obsidian, BibTeX, or shareable .lxproj bundles.
Built to self-host
Run linXiv on your laptop, lab machine, or server. Your PDFs and metadata stay under your control — not a vendor's cloud.
Peer-to-peer sharing
Share a project directly with another person over an end-to-end encrypted connection, without running a relay server or account. Edits merge instead of overwriting.
Reading lists
Track papers by reading status and work through a queue, separate from your project structure.
Home feed
Point the home page at an RSS/Atom feed and save papers straight from it — arXiv IDs are picked up automatically.
