I save 10-15 papers a week for my literature reviews. The highlighting with inline notes is exactly what I needed — I can annotate as I read and export all my highlights to Markdown for my Obsidian vault. Replaced three different tools with one extension.

The distraction-free reader is genuinely good — sepia theme with a narrow column width makes long reads comfortable. Search could be a bit faster on large libraries (I have 400+ articles), but it works. The fact that nothing leaves my laptop is a big deal for me.

We curate industry news for our weekly team digest. I save articles throughout the week, tag them by topic, then batch-export as CSV on Fridays. Clean workflow, no sign-ups, no cloud dependency. Exactly what I wanted.
