Where your data goes.
- Files stay on your machine; notes, the record, and threads stay with the document.
- Extracted text goes to the model you configure, or Ollama; scans are read locally, with a vision model only as fallback.
- API keys stay in the macOS, Windows, or Linux keychain; if it is unavailable, they may go to a local settings file.

FAQ
Can it miss something?
Yes. Page reads have character and step budgets, so a search miss does not mean the document contains no relevant information. For questions that ask for every item, the first suggestion names unread pages that match.
Can a found citation still be wrong?
Yes. PageWise checks the quoted words and the numbers in the sentence. Other mistakes, such as who owes what, are checked only when you ask your model to review each passage (More, under the answer), one short call per citation, and the model can misread too. A review that disagrees lowers the chip to not found; one that agrees never raises it. A number the model rounded may show “check the page” even when the answer is right.
Which scans can it read?
English, plus Simplified Chinese when the interface language is Chinese. Handwriting, vertical Chinese, and other languages go to the vision model, if you set one. A quote not found on a scan shows “check the page”, not “not found”.
Does exporting evidence change my PDF?
No. It writes a copy to a new file you choose, with only the evidence found on its page. A signed PDF's signature does not survive in the copy, and encrypted PDFs cannot be annotated.
Does it search the web?
Not by default. OpenRouter web search is enabled per call when you want to check an external source.
How do I open it on macOS?
The build is not notarized. See the release instructions for the current installation steps.
