Private by default · Traceable to every source

Carry your research from question to defense.

A workspace built for the shape of a thesis: find the literature, locate the gap, design the study, keep every citation honest, and rehearse the defense, in one place.

Private by default

Your project stays yours. Choose exactly what a supervisor sees, and when.

Student-led

It surfaces gaps and structure. The argument, and the judgment behind it, stay yours.

What's inside today

    Twenty-two stages from topic to defence, each with status, tasks and notes.

  • Library and search

    Search OpenAlex and Crossref, attach papers, and read them with page-aware search.

  • Literature matrix

    Every paper against the same twelve questions; AI-drafted cells are marked until you check them.

  • Research gaps

    Gaps labelled by what backs them: a passage, a matrix entry, or nothing yet.

  • Citations

    APA 7 references, in-text forms, BibTeX export, and verification against Crossref.

  • Research integrity

    Check claims against your own sources, see what to fix first, and keep a log of AI use.
