Lit

What is Lit?

A local-first writing app for scholars. Read papers, annotate, build a knowledge base, and write with citations. All in one place. Notes aren't the end product. They're matches. Lit strikes them by turning annotations into cards, cards into connections, connections into writing. PDF annotation, native bibliography, citeproc/crossref, knowledge graph, mindmap, built-in LLM. Rust backend. Plain markdown files you own. One-time purchase. No subscription.
