Recito uses a hybrid approach: your metadata, annotations, highlights, and notes are synced to secure cloud storage (your library data), while PDFs can be stored in two ways based on your preference:
Browser cache (IndexedDB) stores data locally for fast offline access, while cloud sync ensures your library is accessible from any device.
You can import via DOI lookup, title search, drag-and-drop PDF upload, or manual entry. We also automatically find open access PDFs.
No credit card required. You get full access to every feature for 14 days, unlimited papers, all citation formats, and our full immersive reader.
Yes! Once your PDFs and library data are synced, you can read, annotate, highlight, and generate citations completely offline. Browser cache stores your recent papers locally for fast access.
You'll need internet to: import new papers via DOI/search, find open access PDFs, sync changes across devices, or upload new PDFs to cloud storage.
We support 15+ citation formats including APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, BibTeX, and RIS. You can copy any format to clipboard with one click, or bulk export your entire library as a .bib or .ris file for import into LaTeX, Word, or reference managers.
You keep full access to all paid features until the end of your current billing period. After that, you can still access your library in read-only mode, but won't be able to upload new PDFs to cloud storage or sync changes. Cloud-stored PDFs are retained for 90 days after cancellation, giving you time to download them locally.
We offer a full 14-day free trial with no credit card required, so you can thoroughly test all features before subscribing. Once you've subscribed and payment has been processed, refunds are generally not available.
Recito works in all modern browsers. For the best experience:
