An open source tool for collecting, organising, annotating, citing and sharing research material. It reads citation data off a web page in one click, inserts citations while you write and rebuilds the bibliography, and keeps PDF annotations tied to the item. Version 10.0.6, AGPL.

Learners collect dictionaries the way other people collect records, and then look words up one book at a time. GoldenDict-ng loads the whole shelf and shows every answer for a single query on one screen.

A few hundred ebooks scattered across a download folder, with mismatched names and formats, is where management stops being optional. Calibre reads metadata on import, fills in covers and series, and converts between formats almost freely.

Baicizhan gives every word a scene to hang on: a still from a series, an example sentence, four different review exercises and a schedule counted backwards from the exam date. Core features are free and progress syncs across devices.

Duolingo breaks language study into lessons of a few minutes, with instant feedback, a streak counter and a leaderboard. More than forty languages, the whole course free to use, progress synced between web and phone, and conversation practice on the paid tier.

An open source reading application that puts its own interface onto several popular e-ink readers and onto Android and Linux. Reflow of scanned PDFs, dictionary lookup, export of annotations and progress that follows the reader between devices are all present, under the AGPL with the source open.

A non-profit learning service that costs nothing to use. Courses run from preschool numeracy to early university mathematics, science, grammar, history and financial literacy, with practice built around mastery and dashboards for parents and teachers. More than fifty languages, no advertising.

One prompt box asks how it can help with your research, five starters sit beneath it, and behind them a chain of tools: search in three depths, a review with a published benchmark, chat over a PDF, drafting, diagrams, citations and a detector.

Ask a yes-or-no research question and a meter shows how far the published evidence agrees. Deep search builds the strategy for you: expanding keywords, hunting opposing claims, walking the citation graph across 220 million peer-reviewed papers.

Search 138 million papers and 545,000 clinical trials, then have the agent assemble a report, a table or a slide deck in which every claim carries a citation back to the sentence it came from.

An Android e-book reader that accepts the formats people actually own — plain text, epub, mobi and dozens more — with chapter detection for novels that have no markup, spoken reading, imported typefaces, vertical layout and instant script switching. The free version is complete; the paid one removes ads.

Moyu Danci is a vocabulary tool for people who study in the gaps of a working day: a word window that fades into the background, a key that hides it, and a review schedule that decides what comes back and when.
