Platform Support

macOS

macOS 11 Big Sur or later, Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3 or newer) only — there are no Intel builds. Builds are signed and notarized.

Windows

Windows 10 or later (64-bit). Install via winget or the installer from Releases. Builds are not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn on first launch.

Linux

Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions (Ubuntu 18.04+, Debian 10+). Install the .deb package; Python and all dependencies are bundled.

Zotero

All platforms require the Zotero desktop client, installed with your library synced. The app reads your local zotero.sqlite database for PDFs and metadata. Zotero must be fully closed while indexing — see The app won’t index my library.
