Urshu is a privacy-first research companion designed for students, academics, and curious minds. We aggregate metadata from the world’s top academic repositories—including OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, Scopus, arXiv, PubMed, IEEE, and CORE—so you can find the papers you need in one place.
Our goal is to streamline your research workflow without compromising your data.
Discover & Search: Instantly query millions of academic papers across multiple disciplines and sources.
AI TL;DR Summaries: Get automated, AI-generated quick summaries of complex papers to decide if they are worth your full attention.
Your Personal Library: Save papers, track your reading status, and build custom collections. Your library data is stored locally on your device for maximum privacy.
Flexible Access: Dive right in using our Guest Mode, or use an optional Google Sign-in to sync your basic profile securely.
We believe in full transparency. We don't track you, we don't sell your data, and you maintain complete control over your account.
