## What is ZenithRead?

Between lab meetings, on the train, ten minutes before rounds: open ZenithRead and catch up on the newest papers in your field, then read them closely, right on your iPhone.

ZenithRead is a pocket reader for papers and journals, built for researchers, clinicians, and graduate students. Follow journals, read in depth, keep your highlights, find them again, and export them when you need them.

JOURNAL SHELF: NEW PAPERS FROM THE JOURNALS YOU FOLLOW
Follow the journals you care about and today's new articles land on your shelf. Star articles to come back to, read across journals without losing your place, and filter by journal. Browse the built-in DOAJ open-access catalog, and see community journal metrics from ZenithRead Data, with the source and year always shown.

FOCUSED READING: LAYOUT THAT FITS YOUR PHONE
Import PDFs and article packages from Files and read with smooth paging and a clear outline. Listen with on-device read-aloud that highlights each sentence and picks up where you stopped. Search inside an article, jump to and copy references, follow figure and equation links, open author and affiliation cards, and see how much reading time is left. Reading statistics add up your time today, over the past 7 days, and per article.

HIGHLIGHTS AND EXPORT: COLOR MARKUP, MARKDOWN NOTES
Highlight in color and add notes to any region of a page. When you are ready, export your highlights as clean Markdown, grouped by color, straight into your notes system. Check and fix bibliographic metadata such as DOI, PMID, and ISSN to keep your library tidy.

INSTANT TRANSLATION AND SMART READING
Select a sentence and get a translation right away. Apple on-device translation is the default: fast and private. For more academic phrasing, connect DeepL or another translation service you choose. When a key argument needs a closer look, send the excerpt to Smart Reading and ask about methods, compare findings, and sort out your thinking. Use the ZenithRead Managed Service, with free answers every day and credit packs when you need more, or connect a service you configure yourself. Nothing is sent until you confirm.

OPEN ACCESS AND WEB ARCHIVING
Search Europe PMC, arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, OpenAlex, and Unpaywall for open-access papers, check the source and license, then download and import the full text. The built-in browser opens journal sites with full-page translation, and lets you sign in with your own institution or library account to save PDFs you are entitled to into your library.

Free to download, no ads, and an account is optional: read everything without signing in, or sign in to sync followed journals, starred articles, and reading progress across devices. Your library, highlights, notes, and reading statistics stay on your iPhone.
Open ZenithRead and make every spare moment count.
