Local-first research workspace

Turn a library of papers into research you can act on.

Read PDFs, write connected notes, organize projects, track datasets and deadlines — without giving up control of your files.

01

Read and understand

Open a paper beside its canonical note and capture figures, equations, or tables directly into your research record.

02

Connect the work

Link papers, notes, projects, tasks, conferences, and datasets instead of copying context between unrelated tools.

03

Keep ownership

Kavot works from a folder you choose. Notes remain Markdown, PDFs remain PDFs, and local use never requires an account.

Kavot Sync

A new computer should not mean rebuilding your thesis.

Kavot Sync backs up the whole workspace, transfers only changed content, tracks devices, and preserves conflicts instead of silently overwriting them.
