ScholarXIV/OpenScholarXIV

OpenScholarXIV is an open-source, aesthetic, minimal and AI powered app that allows users to search, read, bookmark, share, download and view summaries of academic papers from the arXiv repository.

What it solves

It simplifies the process of discovering, reading, and understanding complex academic papers from arXiv by integrating AI-powered tools directly into a mobile reading experience.

How it works

The app connects to arXiv's open access data to allow users to search for and read papers. It leverages AI (via a user-provided Gemini API key) to generate text summaries that can be read or listened to, and provides a chat interface for users to ask questions and deep dive into the specific content of a paper.

Who it’s for

Researchers, students, and AI enthusiasts who want a streamlined way to manage and analyze academic literature on their mobile devices.

Highlights

  • AI-Powered Analysis: Generate summaries and engage in interactive AI chat to better understand papers.
  • In-App Reading: Read, download, and share papers without leaving the application.
  • Personalized Management: Bookmark papers for later and organize research through search and suggested papers.
  • Customization: Supports Material You light and dark themes and allows users to bring their own API keys.
