What Polar Knowledge AI does
Polar is a document manager for reading web pages, PDFs, textbooks, and other documents, with annotation, organization, and reading progress tracking. It is aimed at readers of books and research papers, as well as developers. Features include PDF support through PDF.js, saving web pages as offline documents rendered for readability, underlining, area highlights, and comments that leave the original content unchanged, and flashcards attached to annotations that sync with spaced repetition systems such as Anki. Reading tools include incremental reading, queues, and daily-goal stats. Content is stored locally with optional Firebase cloud sync across macOS, Windows, Linux, and major browsers. The page does not state any prices.
