Peel: Sources, Quotes and References

Save sources and quotes as you read, with their page numbers, and copy references in your university's style. Free and private.

Peel keeps every source for your course in one place, with the quotes you save and their page numbers, and copies the right reference in your style. For university, work or your own research. Free, with no account, and your library stays on your computer. SAVE AS YOU READ • Click Peel's button on any page, or right-click and choose "Save this page to Peel". Peel reads the title, authors and date on your computer. • Or paste a DOI, ISBN or link. Fill the gaps looks the source up in Crossref and Open Library: nothing is made up, and anything still missing is shown before you copy. • Highlight words and right-click "Save as a quote to Peel", or press Alt+Q. The quote keeps its page number. READ AND HIGHLIGHT PDFS • Open a PDF in Peel's reader and highlight in four colours. Each highlight becomes a quote, with the page number printed on the page when the PDF shows one. • Find a free copy: for an article with a DOI, Peel lists legal open-access copies from OpenAlex, and says which version each one is. • Add notes on any page. COPY REFERENCES IN YOUR STYLE • 35 universities' own versions of Harvard, each checked against that university's guide. Peel asks where you study when you start. • Copy a citation, or the whole reference list for a project, with the italics kept for Word and Google Docs. CHECK YOUR SOURCES AGAINST THE BRIEF • Paste an assignment brief and mark what it asks for. Peel turns it into a checklist. • Peel checks your sources against the brief's limits: the years they must be from, how many of each kind, and the referencing style. YOUR LIBRARY • Projects for each module or assignment, with sources missing details shown first. • A duplicate finder that merges copies and keeps every quote. • Import from Zotero, Mendeley or EndNote and export everything any time. • A side panel beside the page you're reading. PIP, THE OPTIONAL AI HELPER Pip helps you reference and read, and never writes your work: • Tidy a reference's capitals and names for your style, showing every change first. • Explain a rule, answered from Peel's own examples for your style. • Summarise the pages you choose, with the page each point is from. • A paraphrase coach that gives hints and never rewrites your version. • Find sources for a question: the results are real records from Crossref and OpenAlex. • "What Pip did" keeps a list for your university's AI declaration, with what Pip did in KanBananza too when a project is linked. • See how much Pip is left this month, and a receipt of what Pip's done. Pip has a free week, then comes with a Pip plan, which works in KanBananza too. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account and no analytics. Your library stays on your computer. • An optional passcode lock that encrypts your library and PDF copies. • Free sync through your own Google Drive or OneDrive, encrypted on your computer first with a passphrase only you know. READING AND ACCESS Light or dark, eight colour themes, OpenDyslexic and Atkinson Hyperlegible fonts, wider spacing, bigger text, colour overlays, high contrast, shapes beside colours, and keyboard shortcuts.
