Hundreds of new research papers appear every day. Aftergleam reads them and shows you the few worth your time.

It learns what you like from how you react to papers. The model is trained on your phone. There is no account, no server of our own, no analytics and no ads.

Privacy
Your reading history and the model stay on your device. To fetch papers, the app has to ask the preprint servers for them, so those servers see the requests it makes. The privacy policy lists exactly what is sent.
