Persistent Highlighting
Highlight and annotate directly on web pages and PDFs. Color-coded highlights and notes saved to your projects — persistent across sessions and devices.
Fast Bookmarking
Save sources for later without annotating. Eliminates the pile of open tabs and ensures nothing gets lost between research sessions.
Citation Management
Source metadata captured automatically when you save. Format citations in APA, MLA, Chicago, Bluebook, and other major styles with a single click — no manual entry.
Screenshot Capture
Capture visuals, charts, or figures through the integrated screenshot tool. Screenshots are automatically linked to their source URL and stored in your project with citation.
Integrated Library Search
If your institution is registered with PowerNotes, library database results appear alongside web results when you search. Vetted academic sources surfaced when you need them.
