LiquidText
PDF Editor with Superpowers·liquidtext.net
LiquidText is a PDF reading, annotation, and note-taking application that lets users excerpt, highlight, and comment on documents inside a unified workspace. It uses a patented gestural interface to link excerpts and notes across pages and documents, build mind maps, and search across highlights and results while preserving context. The app runs locally on iPadOS, Windows, and macOS devices, with an optional cloud-based subscription service (LiquidText LIVE) adding real-time sync, backup, and collaboration across devices.
