## What is Scienze?

Scienze turns dense scientific papers into something you can actually read on your phone.

Upload a PDF, paste a URL, or point your camera at a printed page. Scienze splits the paper into focused cards — abstract, methods, figures, results — and you swipe through them one at a time, like turning pages built for a phone screen.


The heart of Scienze is one gesture: swipe left on any card and the paragraph is explained in plainer language. Not simple enough? Swipe again. Each pass goes a level deeper — depth 2, depth 3, depth 7 — until the idea finally clicks. You choose how far to go; Scienze keeps track of how many times each passage has been simplified.

No endless PDF scrolling and no pinch-zooming. Cards keep your place, show your progress through the paper, and let you move forwards and backwards with a swipe.

Select a word or phrase right on the card for an instant, in-context definition — no switching to a browser tab mid-sentence.


Figure references are tappable, and charts open beside the text that cites them, with their captions. You never lose your place to go hunting for "Figure 3b".

Photograph pages from a book or journal and Scienze extracts the text, analyses the structure, and builds readable cards from it in seconds.

Add your own note to any card, bookmark the passages worth returning to, and jump between sections — abstract, methods and more.

Saved articles and reading progress live on your device, so you can keep reading on the train, on a flight, or anywhere the connection drops.

Scienze is built for PhD students, researchers, undergraduates, and anyone curious enough to open a scientific paper — and honest enough to admit that some paragraphs need a second pass. Or a seventh.
