Rectoly for Zotero

Rectoly 2.0 is a major update that rebuilds Reading Mode, handwriting, and sync. HANDWRITING SYNCS ACROSS DEVICES Apple Pencil handwriting is stored as a Zotero attachment and synced between iPhone and iPad. In Reading Mode, handwriting is anchored to the text and follows it when you change the font size. iCloud backup and a change history let you recover handwriting you deleted. READING POSITION AND STATUS SYNC Pick up on iPad right where you left off in Zotero desktop or web. Unread, in-progress, and finished papers are tracked automatically, with progress shown in the library. WORKBENCH AND SIDEBAR (iPAD) The Workbench pins a figure beside the text while you read. A persistent sidebar shows thumbnails, annotations, and the outline. PDFs can scroll vertically or horizontally with facing pages, Zotero-style. READING MODE IMPROVEMENTS Figures, tables, and equations are detected and placed in the text, and references like "Figure 1" jump to the figure. Pinch to change the font size and the text reflows on the spot. Japanese papers are supported (footnotes gathered at the end, paragraphs continued). Papers without detectable headings and PDFs over 500 pages now open in Reading Mode. SEARCH AND EXPORT Search the whole paper, search across your library, and find similar passages in other papers. Export annotations as Markdown, LaTeX, Typst, or Zotero notes. ALSO NEW • Customizable toolbar • Apple Pencil squeeze for the tool palette, hover for a preview • "Open in Rectoly" from other apps' share sheets • Multiple Zotero accounts • Background downloads with completion notifications • Annotations carry over to the original paragraph when a PDF is replaced • Right-to-left interface languages • Many bug fixes and performance improvements ABOUT RECTOLY PRO Reading Mode and Split View are now Pro features. If you started your trial before this update, you keep them for free.
