The research graph that
grows as you read
Open papers like you always do. Arboreta quietly builds your citation map, remembers how you got there, and shows what to read next.
Every dot is a paper. Every line is a real citation — nothing is inferred.
Try the live demo →Beta opens soon on Chrome. Local-first · your data never touches our servers · free forever.
You're on the list — we'll write when the beta opens.
No imports, no folders, no save button. Open papers on arXiv, PubMed, Nature and 45+ more sites — reading is the input, and the graph builds itself.
Every edge is a recorded citation you can check at the source. No AI summaries, no guessed similarity. If the data is missing, Arboreta says so.
Everything lives in your browser and a backup folder on your own disk. No account, no upload — our servers never see what you read.
Claude or any MCP client connects to your library — locally, read-only, free. “What should I read next?” gets an answer grounded in what you actually read.
