Academic research lives across hundreds of online papers, archives, and primary sources. Highlite gives researchers a private, offline-first annotation layer over the entire web. Highlight quotes for citation, drop notes with reference numbers, and never lose track of a source again.
The pain Academic researchers and PhD students face today
- Zotero captures the source but not your reading notes
- Copy-pasting quotes into Word/LaTeX strips citation context
- Cloud annotation tools raise GDPR and confidentiality concerns
- Re-reading 50 papers to find one quote is a research tax
