For students & researchers

Keep your sources useful, even weeks later

Save quotes, papers, definitions, articles, and notes while you research. Gleanit keeps your annotations on the live page, with the source, note, tags, and context attached — so when you come back later, the exact part you cared about is still highlighted.

You saved the source. But can you find what mattered?

You highlight a quote that supports your argument. A paper with the definition you need. A paragraph that explains the concept better than your textbook. A source you know belongs in the essay.

Three weeks later, you're staring at a blank doc. You know you saved something useful. It is technically somewhere in your tabs, PDFs, notes, screenshots, bookmarks, or downloads folder.

And even when you find the source again, you still have to remember which paragraph mattered.

Now you need the source, the quote, the page, the note, the context, and why it mattered.

So you dig through PDFs, browser tabs, messy notes, and files named something like final_final_research.pdf… then write from memory anyway.

Capture → Find → Use

From scattered sources to research you can actually use

The same three moments happen every time you work with sources: you capture something useful, try to find it later, and use it when outlining, writing, citing, or studying. Gleanit keeps that loop connected.

The old way

Sound familiar?

  • You find a quote, definition, paper, article, or example that belongs in your essay or research project.
  • You highlight it, screenshot it, download the PDF, bookmark the tab, or paste it into a messy notes doc.
  • It gets saved somewhere named final_final_research.pdf or Screenshot 2026-03-14 at 11.42.png.
  • Weeks later, you need it for an outline, paragraph, citation, or study session.
  • You can’t find the exact source. Was it in a PDF? A tab? A notes app? Your downloads folder?
  • Even when you find the source again, you still have to remember which paragraph mattered.
  • Then AI could help, so you gather the quote, source, notes, and assignment context all over again.

Oh, almost forgot...

Gleanit also helps you see patterns in what you save.

So instead of starting from a blank doc, you can see the sources, quotes, arguments, and notes your paper is already built from.

Actual workflow

Come back to the page. Your highlights are still there.

Click a highlight to see the note, source, tags, and context that stay on the live page when you return to cite or study.

Reading on the live page

The page remembers

Imagine you opened a book.

Or a textbook.

It is nice and clean and crisp. No marks. No folded corners. No signs of anyone being there before you.

Then you read it. Something catches your attention, so you highlight it.

A week later, you open the same book again.

Now your eyes do not move across the page the same way. They go straight to the highlights. The page is no longer just text. It has memory. It remembers what mattered to you.

This sentence has nothing to do with this essay.

But it caught your attention because I made it stand out.

That is the point.

You were highlighting in the book because you thought it was important

Gleanit brings that feeling to the web.

Try it: Click any highlight. Your note and source stay attached when you reopen the page weeks later, just like in the app.

Live annotations

Reopen the source. See what mattered.

Gleanit keeps your highlights on the original page, so when you come back later, the exact quote, definition, or paragraph you saved is still marked.

Highlight the quote on the page
Add the note for context
Keep the source attached
Return later and your highlight is still there

Come back to the exact part that mattered

Save quotes, notes, and sources while you research. When you revisit the page, your highlights are still there.
