Arxivist

Arxivist ranks each day's new arXiv papers against your own research — privately, on your
device.

HOW IT WORKS
Tell Arxivist about your research once — by author name, by keywords, or by just picking
categories to explore — and it builds a private, on-device profile. Every day, it fetches the
newest papers in your chosen arXiv categories and ranks them by how closely they match, so the
papers most relevant to you rise to the top instead of getting buried in a firehose of new
submissions.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
There's no account and no tracking. Your research profile, your bookmarks, and everything
Arxivist learns about your interests stay on your device — none of it is ever uploaded.
Ranking runs on a local machine-learning model, not a cloud API. To load papers quickly, the
app asks a lightweight paper-cache service for each day's public arXiv papers in the categories
you follow (category codes and a date only — no identifiers), and falls back to arXiv directly
if it's unavailable.

BUILT FOR HOW RESEARCH ACTUALLY WORKS
• Cross-category discovery: if papers outside your selected categories keep matching your
interests, Arxivist notices and offers to add that category
• Bookmarks refine your ranking over time, blended alongside your original profile
• 14 days of papers cached on-device, so you can browse offline — navigate back to any day,
and Arxivist fetches that day's full announcement list if it isn't already cached
• Works across arXiv's full category taxonomy spanning CS, math, physics, statistics, and more
