Middle-click

Everything you need to research
Useful research tools without the tab chaos.
Keep your research in one place
Save quotes, code, and sources as you browse so you don't lose important information across dozens of tabs.
Citations in seconds
Generate APA, MLA, Chicago, or BibTeX citations without formatting them yourself.
Search research sources faster
Send selected text to research tools such as Google Scholar and PubMed without manually opening another tab.
Private by design
Research Wheel runs locally on your computer. No tracking and no external servers.
Your research stays yours.
Research Wheel is designed around local-first research. Your workspace and research tools run locally rather than depending on a remote account or cloud service.
The project is open source, so you can inspect how it works for yourself.
