## What is Hashiya?

Hashiya helps master's and PhD students keep their research in one place, from finding a paper to tracking what they've read. The name is the Arabic ḥāshiya: the commentary scholars wrote in the margins of books.

FIND ANY PAPER
• Search millions of scholarly works from the OpenAlex catalog.
• Sort by relevance, most cited or newest, and filter by year or open access.
• Paste a DOI, an arXiv ID or a link to go straight to a paper.
• Share a paper's page from Safari to add it without leaving the browser.

PREVIEW, THEN SAVE
• See the abstract, authors, venue, year and citation count before you save.
• Open the paper's DOI page or its open-access PDF when one is available.

YOUR LIBRARY, OFFLINE
• Saved papers stay on your device and work without a connection.
• Search your library by words from a title, author, abstract or venue. Arabic search ignores diacritics and letter variants.
• Swipe to remove a paper, with Undo.

TRACK YOUR READING
• Mark each paper To read, Reading or Read.
• Filter your library by status, with a count for each.

MADE FOR ARABIC AND ENGLISH
• Full Arabic and English interfaces with right-to-left layouts.
• Light and dark themes.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no tracking and no ads. Your library never leaves your device.

Paper data comes from OpenAlex (openalex.org), a free and open catalog of scholarly works.

• Notes for every paper: summary, research question, method, key findings, limitations and your own thoughts. They save as you type, and your library search finds them.
• Read PDFs in the app: download a paper's open-access PDF or attach one from Files, then read it offline with search, zoom and your notes beside the page. The reader reopens where you left off.
• Collections: group papers for a chapter, a course or a project, and filter your library by collection.
• BibTeX export: export a collection or your whole library as a .bib file for Overleaf or LaTeX, or copy one paper's entry. Cite keys stay the same from one export to the next.
