Organize your PDF library and ask questions with references to your documents. Quirely PDF Library Manager helps researchers, engineers, clinicians and students manage papers, find relevant passages and explore their own collections on Mac, iPad and iPhone. ORGANIZE YOUR LIBRARY • Add folders and monitor them for new PDFs. • Extract and edit titles, authors, venues, years and DOIs. • Complete bibliographic metadata using online reference sources. • Filter by author, title, journal, year, tags and full text. • Open PDFs, reveal files and copy formatted citations. • Use familiar citation styles including MLA, APA, AMA and Chicago. ASK QUESTIONS WITH SOURCES With an active AI subscription, ask questions about material in your library, find supporting passages and compare ideas across documents. Answers include citations and references you can open to inspect the source. Examples: • Find the method used to measure fluorescence in these papers. • Compare the assumptions behind two experimental results. • Locate the passage that defines an equation or reports a sample size. AI can make mistakes. Check the cited passages and original documents, particularly when using results for research, professional or clinical decisions. Quirely is a library and research tool, not a diagnostic service. CONTROL AI DATA SHARING Your PDF library is managed locally. Cloud AI features send extracted PDF text, questions and relevant conversation context through Cloudflare to OpenAI. In version 1.52, these requests require your explicit permission, which you can revoke in Settings. When sharing is enabled with a subscription, Quirely can automatically build missing search embeddings from library text. Optional hosted reranking and GROBID extraction require separate permission for the configured service address. GROBID may receive complete PDF files. Bibliographic metadata lookups and enabled web or local-network features are separate from the cloud AI sharing setting. See the privacy policy for details. SUBSCRIPTIONS Local library organization and filtering are free. Cloud AI chat, AI metadata extraction and embeddings require an active Basic, Pro or Lab subscription. AI usage limits apply. Apple handles purchases; use Restore Purchases to restore an eligible subscription on another device.
