From ‘I have 40 papers’ to ‘I know exactly where that finding is’
Research gets unwieldy fast. Kognific gives you projects, tags, and filters so your source library stays navigable as it grows, whether you have 5 papers or 500.

- Pin projects to the sidebar for quick access
- Search across your entire library or within a specific project
Projects
Each project has its own sources, syntheses, drafts, and conversations. Set a citation style per project: APA for one paper, IEEE for another. Pin active projects to the sidebar.
Tags
Create tags for any taxonomy that makes sense to you: by theme, by chapter, by methodology, by priority. Assign multiple tags per source. Filter your library by tag to see related sources instantly.
Reading Status
Track where you are with each source: unread, reading, or completed. Filter your library to see what still needs attention. Reading status is visible on source rows and in the metadata panel.
Favorites
Star your most important sources. Toggle favorites from the library, project view, or source detail page. Filter to see only favorites when you need your core references.
Search & Filter
Full-text search across source titles and metadata. Combine with type filters (PDF, audio, web, etc.), reading status, tags, and favorites. Works in both the global library and within projects.
Source-to-Project Linking
Sources live in your library and can belong to multiple projects. Add existing sources to new projects without duplicating files. Remove a source from a project without deleting it from your library.
