Install the companion DocsAgent app on the computer where your Zotero library lives, make sure the phone and computer are on the same Wi-Fi, then open DocsAgent and tap Scan. Point the camera at the pairing code on the computer screen — your library transfers directly to your phone over your local network.

Nothing is uploaded to the cloud: the transfer goes straight from your computer to your phone.

DocsAgent for Mac is available now — download it here (free, 42 MB, macOS 13 or newer, Apple silicon and Intel).

A Windows version is in development and will appear on the same page once it's ready. Only the Mac app is needed to prepare your library for your iPhone.

You choose. DocsAgent works with any OpenAI-compatible API — add the model provider you already use in Settings, or point it at a model service you deploy yourself (for example, a server inside your own network). Your key stays on your device, and your requests go to the provider you picked, not to us.

Chatting with a paper opens a conversation grounded in that single document — great for summaries, methods, and specific details. Library search takes a question in plain language and finds the papers across your whole collection that can answer it — great for "which papers cover X?" moments.

No. There is no sign-up and no sign-in. Import your library, add your model key, and start asking.

Both apps are available now. Get DocsAgent for iPhone on the App Store (free, iOS 16.0 or newer) and the free Mac companion from the download page. Note: the iPhone app is not yet available in mainland China and the EU.

Yes. Your library and chats live on your device. Imports happen over your own local network, and AI requests go to the provider you configure. See our Privacy Policy for details.
