Feature 08 research mode
PDF annotation
PDFs render natively — rasterised by macOS CoreGraphics for crisp, fast pages — and your highlights and notes live as an overlay that survives every reopen.
Rendered by the platform
Pages are rasterised by the operating system's own PDF engine, so rendering is sharp and quick — no embedded web viewer, no janky scroll.
Annotations that survive
Highlights and notes are stored in normalized page coordinates and persisted locally — zoom, resize or reopen the document and every mark is exactly where you left it.
Part of research mode
PDF Annotate appears in the sidebar while research mode is on, beside Literature Review — the reading tools arrive together when you switch into reading mode.
In research
Annotate the methods section, then write the Literature Review entry while the highlights are still on screen. Your marked-up papers stay in the project, in ~/.osmi, not in a cloud account.
