Link your existing folders, paste arXiv URLs to download, tag papers by project, and export BibTeX for LaTeX—all from one calm, fast desktop app.
macOS · Built with Flutter
Every feature shaped around real academic workflows—no bloat, no learning curve.
Drop any arXiv link into the search bar. Paper Suitcase fetches the PDF, extracts metadata—title, authors, abstract—and files it into your chosen entry and subfolder. It even flags similar papers you already have.
Create hierarchical tags for each research project, reading group, or topic. Assign them in one click, filter your library instantly. Stop losing that one paper you read last month.
Look up references from DBLP, generate BibTeX entries, and export them for your LaTeX projects. Manage citations per-tag so each project gets exactly the references it needs.
Paper Suitcase never copies or moves your files. Create entries that link to folders on your disk—the same folders synced by your cloud provider.
Add any folder as an entry. PDFs stay exactly where they are—your existing file structure is preserved.
Works with OneDrive, Dropbox, Nutstore, Google Drive—any service that syncs a folder. Your papers follow you across machines.
New PDFs dropped into your synced folder? Paper Suitcase detects additions, removals, and even renames automatically.
Free, open-source, and built for academics who just want their papers in one place.
