Latest version
Version 1.6.0
Released Aug 8, 2026 - 1.9 MBWorks with firefox 128.0 and laterSaved papers are now folders, on a dashboard that opens with your library
rather than an empty grid. Four figures across the top — how much you have
saved, how much of it is Q1, the median SJR, how much you can read for free —
and three charts: the quality of what you keep, when it was published, and
where you read most.
Folders sort by when you last saved to them, carry their own colour, and show
a quartile mix and median SJR at a glance. A default folder called My Research
now exists from the first launch, so your first save always has somewhere to
go.
New: a share card that draws a summary of your library as an image, on your
machine. Nothing is uploaded.
New: a short guide on first run, reachable afterwards from the dashboard.
Fixed: the first-author count on author profiles read the last word of a
display name as the surname, so anyone with "PhD" or "MD" after their name saw
0 papers regardless of how many they led. It now reads initials and surname
the way Google Scholar prints them, and tells two authors who share a surname
apart. Where a name cannot be read, the figure is left out rather than shown
as zero.Source code released under GNU General Public License v3.0 only

Version 1.5.0
Released Aug 5, 2026 - 1.89 MBWorks with firefox 128.0 and laterFixed: the bookmark stopped responding after applying a filter. It now works
without reloading the page.
Fixed: some conference papers were shown a journal's quartile. Where a venue is
ambiguous, LitRank now shows no badge rather than a possibly wrong one.
New: quartile trend, citations per year, how a paper compares to its own
journal, and — behind the "+" — category breadth, h-index and first indexed
year.
New: a research profile card on Scholar author pages. Press it to summarise
every publication: quartile mix, median SJR, open access share, recent topics,
venues, first-author count, output per year and most cited.Source code released under GNU General Public License v3.0 only
