Arxivist

Arxivist turns arXiv's daily firehose of new papers into a personalized, ranked feed — ranked privately on your device. HOW IT WORKS • Tell Arxivist who you are — search your own arXiv publications, describe your research interests in your own words, or just pick subject areas to explore. • Every day, Arxivist fetches the latest papers in your chosen categories and ranks them by how closely they match your interests, using an on-device machine learning model — your profile and reading history never leave your phone. • Bookmark papers to refine your feed over time — your saved papers quietly improve future rankings. FEATURES • Daily Focus feed — a ranked "More for you" list plus a top-picks carousel, with match-quality badges (High / Mid / Low) so you know why a paper is surfaced. • Cross-category discovery — Arxivist notices when papers outside your selected categories consistently match your interests, and offers to add that category. • Full-text readable abstracts — LaTeX notation (Greek letters, subscripts, math symbols) is automatically converted to readable Unicode. • Read on arXiv's HTML reader when available, or fall back to the PDF. • 14 days of paper history — navigate back through any recent day, not just today. • Saved papers with sort by recency or relevance. PRIVACY FIRST • No account, no ads, no tracking. Your research profile, bookmarks and reading history stay on your device. To load papers quickly, the app asks a lightweight paper-cache service for each day's public arXiv papers in the categories you follow (category codes and a date only — no identifiers), and falls back to arXiv directly if it's unavailable. Arxivist is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by arXiv or Cornell University.
