Read the paper without losing the thread.
A stack of PDFs, a journal header repeating on every page, a method section that takes concentration to follow. Skimora was built around exactly that kind of reading.

Where it gets hard
The journal header, every page
The same running title and page number cut across the top of every page, interrupting a sentence that was already dense.
Method sections that need steady attention
Numbers, procedure, numbers again. It's easy to drift a sentence in and realise you retained nothing.
Reading a dozen papers back to back
Fatigue sets in and every paper after the third one gets skimmed instead of read.
Losing track of what you found where
A good quote in paper four, and by paper nine you cannot remember which one it was in.
What helps
The PDF and EPUB reader
Strips running headers and footers and detects headings, so a paper reads as continuous text instead of a page-by-page interruption.
Cadence and GlideMark
A highlight or a gliding band that moves through a method section at a pace you set, so attention stays where you put it.
Highlights and Library
Save a passage with 240 characters of context either side. Export the set to Markdown or JSON for whatever note system you already use.
Deep Reading Time
A past-year heatmap of your actual reading, so a heavy reading week shows up as one, not just a guess.
Questions
Can Skimora read scanned PDFs?
No. It reads the text inside a PDF. A scanned PDF is a photo of a page with no text to extract.
Does it write anything about the paper for me?
No. Skimora has no AI. Notes are the ones you write yourself, saved alongside your highlights.
What formats can I export my highlights to?
Markdown or JSON, saved to your device. The default format is a setting in the Library.
Try it on something you're already reading.
