EuKosmos is an all-in-one academic research manager that lives on your machine. Papers, notes, BibTeX, CV, ideas and collaborators — enriched automatically from every major database, stored in a portable folder you own forever.
Most reference managers treat your data as a service. EuKosmos treats it as yours. Everything saves to a plain folder — JSON files you can read, copy, back up with git, and access without EuKosmos if you ever need to.
Paste a DOI and EuKosmos queries all 6 databases in sequence, filling every field it can find — authors with ORCIDs, abstract, BibTeX, citations, OA links.
Data lives in a reliable SQLite database for performance, with human-readable JSON exports always kept in sync alongside it.
Add papers and save PDFs from any publisher page in one click — using your institutional access, no CAPTCHA, no manual renaming.
Designed for the full lifecycle of academic research — not just references.
Full bibliographic management with automatic DOI enrichment from 6 databases. BibTeX import/export, arXiv preprints, OA PDF download, ORCID-linked author details.
Markdown notes with full formatting, code blocks, equations. Tag, search, and link notes to papers. Your running lab notebook, always local.
Capture research hypotheses with feasibility ratings, stage tracking (backlog → active → published), linked papers, and funding notes.
Group papers into research projects. Drill-in view shows only relevant papers. Link notes, todos, and ideas to active projects.
Academic calendar syncs with iCal (department, collaboration calendars). Task tracker with priority, deadlines, multi-day events, and linked PDFs.
Build and export your CV directly from EuKosmos. Papers, talks, grants, positions — all in one structured, printable format.
Track colleagues, institutions, expertise areas, and contact info. Link collaborators to proposals and projects.
Track grant proposals and job applications with deadlines, status, referee lists, and document management — all in one place.
A personal snippet library for your analysis scripts and tools. Searchable by language, purpose, and tags. No more digging through old directories.
Paste a DOI (or arXiv ID, ADS bibcode, InspireHEP key) and EuKosmos queries all databases in order, filling the richest metadata possible. No duplicates — each database contributes only what the others don't have.
Fetch log shows exactly which database contributed each field — full transparency, always.
EuKosmos runs entirely on your machine. No account, no cloud, no subscription. Just Python and a browser.
Download EuKosmos for Mac or Windows. Or clone from GitHub if you prefer.
Open Terminal. Run python3 serve.py. EuKosmos starts on localhost:8080.
Paste a DOI or arXiv ID. EuKosmos fetches everything automatically from all databases.
Write notes, track ideas, manage your CV, plan collaborations. Everything in one place.
The EuKosmos Chrome extension detects papers on any publisher page,
checks if it's in your library, and saves the PDF using your browser's
authenticated session — institutional access, VPN, whatever you have.
No CAPTCHA. No manual renaming. Files saved as
Author_Bibcode_Original.pdf automatically.
Finally a reference manager that doesn't lock my data behind a subscription. The DOI cascade is extraordinary — paste a DOI and everything fills in from ADS to Semantic Scholar automatically.
The browser extension changed how I collect papers. One click from the publisher page and the PDF is saved with the right filename, right in my EuKosmos folder. No more Downloads folder chaos.
I manage papers, proposals, collaborators, and my CV all in one place. And because it's a local folder, I can sync it with my institutional Dropbox without worrying about data privacy.
EuKosmos users will be able to push public notes and research insights to the community — tagged by field, searchable by topic. A crowd-sourced knowledge base built by researchers, for researchers.
Push any note public with subject tags. Researchers in your field discover it when working on the same topic.
No new account. Login with your existing ORCID identifier — the universal academic identity standard.
Automatically curated feeds showing what EuKosmos users are reading in each research field this week.
Free forever. Your data, your folder, your machine.
No account. No subscription. No lock-in.
