Papercut - Research, distilled

Papercut turns arXiv into a TikTok-style feed of research papers. One paper per screen. Swipe up to discover. Tap for AI-powered summaries. Everything happens on your device.

SWIPE THROUGH RESEARCH Browse the latest and trending papers in your fields. Each card shows the title, authors, categories, and an AI-generated summary at a glance.

AI SUMMARIES, ON DEVICE Choose from 7 summary styles — TL;DR, Key Findings, Math Explained, Code Explained, Methodology, Implications, or ELI5. All generated on-device using Apple Intelligence. No API keys. No cloud processing.

SEARCH 2M+ PAPERS Full-text search across arXiv's entire catalog. Find papers by title, author, topic, or arXiv ID.

SAVE FOR LATER Bookmark papers with a single tap. Your saved collection persists across sessions.

FOLLOW WHAT MATTERS Pick the arXiv categories you care about — from cs.AI to math.CO to physics.gen-ph — and your feed adapts.

PRIVACY FIRST No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. No data leaves your phone except to fetch papers from arXiv. Your reading habits, interests, and saved papers are yours alone.
