最近做了一款 Mac 原生的 AI 阅读工具 OakReader。读 PDF 论文/电子书，浏览网页的时候，遇到困惑，一个按钮打开侧边栏，圈中一段文字就能和你喜欢的 AI 模型讨论问题，再也不用切到 ChatGPT / Claude / DeepSeek 去聊天。

阅读过程中的思考，一个按钮打开笔记插件，能像 Flomo / Slack / 微信 一样随手记笔记。阅读外文文献想要翻译的时候，一键打开内置翻译插件。还内置了浏览器功能，可以直接浏览收藏网页。

对于文献管理，这款工具也支持了 Zotero 同样的功能，包括目录标签管理和引用管理。对于 AI 模型配置，可以配置你的 API Key，或者是通过你ChatGPT 账号 OAuth 登录，使用完全免费。

这款工具包含了我对 AI 阅读工具产品设计的很多思考。欢迎感兴趣的朋友下载，试用，反馈  http://oakreader.com

Everything you read, one place

Every PDF, paper, and web page in collections and tags — with full-text search that even understands 中日韩.

Attach a page or a selection and ask — Oak answers right beside the document, in context, with formatted notes, code, and rendered math.

Translate

Translate inline, never break flow

Select any passage to see it in your language right beside the original — sentence by sentence, no copy-paste, no jumping to a separate translation app.

Understand

Go deep on any word

Tap a word for a rich card — meaning, nuance, collocations, and a one-line gist.

Notes

Highlight, note, keep

Mark up any page and your notes collect in one panel — text and image clippings, searchable across everything you read.

Browse

The web, built in

Search, open a link, and read live pages with your logins intact — then save what matters to your library.

Use any model. Switch anytime.

Pick the best model for each question — from frontier labs to a local one on your Mac. You decide.
