arxive

arxive is all you need; download papers with your settings.

arxive is a powerful Chrome extension designed for arxiv.org users who want a streamlined way to download academic papers with customized filenames. Once installed, it adds a Direct Download button on the paper's abstract page after a short delay, enabling users to download PDFs with settings including author names, publication year, and automatic file naming conventions.

Key features of arxive include options to save files directly to a default folder or choose "Save As" for custom paths, the ability to download PDFs directly from pdf links, and dynamic renaming of browser tabs to match the paper's title. These settings are easily configurable via the extension icon when visiting any arxiv.org abstract page, ensuring personalized and efficient management of downloaded papers. Designed to reduce hassle and improve workflow, arxive is especially useful for researchers and students frequently accessing and organizing arXiv papers.

굉장히 유용한 프로그램이라고 생각합니다. 만들어주셔서 감사합니다. 혹시 Author, Year, 및 Title의 Order나, Year에 괄호를 넣는 등의 Custom Option을 적용할 수 있게끔 개선이 가능할지 건의드리고 싶습니다. 감사합니다

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

arxive requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
