Read research, ask questions and explore ideas together.
OnlyIdeas turns PDFs into flowing text while keeping equations, tables and figures with the paper. Start with real shared research, save papers for offline reading, and keep your private notes nearby.
FIND YOUR NEXT PAPER
Ask the paper agent to find open research or give it a direct PDF link. Follow up in a saved conversation, read an abstract, then choose Convert & add when you are ready.
BRING YOUR OWN RESEARCH
Attach PDFs, Word documents, images, Markdown or text files to a conversation and ask about their contents. Agent attachments stay private. Mathpix recognizes text and mathematics; Word conversion keeps embedded equations and figures. Attach up to three files per message. PDF limits are 20 MB and 30 pages, with shared daily allowances.
READ AND DISCUSS
Use a paragraph's discussion button or select a passage to leave a thought. Personal papers and their discussions stay private. Public contributions are reviewed before sharing with the reading community, with reporting and blocking controls.
EXPLORE ACROSS LANGUAGES
Use the interface in English, simplified or traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Russian or Vietnamese. Follow your device language or choose your own.
Request an AI reading guide or paper translation. Readers of the same public paper reuse completed translations. Equations and figures stay with the text. Generated text is labeled and separate from the original; check important claims against the source.
YOUR READING SPACE
Enjoy a vivid interface with light, dark and system themes. Adjust reading size, open cached papers quickly and keep selected papers offline. Sign in with Apple or GitHub, return to saved conversations and manage your account from Profile. Account deletion is available in the app.
Only papers you have the right to share can be published to the public library. Search, conversion, discussions and AI features require an internet connection. Downloaded original papers can be read offline.
ON MAC AND APPLE WATCH
Read in a native Mac app with sidebar navigation and keyboard shortcuts. From iPhone, send a public paper excerpt to your paired Apple Watch. Keep your latest three excerpts offline, with adjustable text. Full equations and figures stay in the phone and Mac reader. Private papers, chats and account credentials are never sent to Watch.
