### 5/5 — Researcher

*2026-08-21*

This is a really a useful app for anyone who regularly reads articles, research, or other online material and wants an easy way to save and organize important information. I especially like the ability to highlight passages, add notes, organize everything with folders and tags, and quickly turn saved sources into citations. The interface is clean and the app feels thoughtfully designed. The ability to search your saved highlights and export your work makes it even more useful.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! If you ever need support or would like to reach out to me directly with a feature idea, please email support@getetal.com.

Version 1.3 adds custom highlight colors and makes the Library easier to use.

CUSTOM COLORS WITH PRO
Create up to five custom colors and name them for the way you work. Edit them in the Library or the Mac app. Saved highlights keep their original shade when you change or remove a color.

CITATIONS AND ZOTERO
Export Zotero-compatible RIS files with the highlights and notes you choose. The citation editor makes it easier to switch sources, edit details, and choose what to include. Copy or download a reference on its own, or include your saved passages and notes.

A MORE CONSISTENT LIBRARY
The main tools stay in the same order as you resize the Library. Labels switch to icons together when space is limited. Selecting highlights keeps the toolbar in place, with Move and Tag at the top of More.

CLEARER IMPORT GUIDANCE
Import from other apps explains the supported exports before you choose a file. Review what will be added before importing.

Setup, returning to saved passages, color menus, keyboard focus, and Safari Reader guidance have also been refined. Spacing and instructions are more consistent across Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

Custom colors and Zotero export require et al. Pro. One purchase covers Mac, iPhone, and iPad, with no subscription.
