The tool automatically reads your sheets and formats the data for easy reading. Distraction-Free Reading: Titles and Abstracts are displayed in large, clear text boxes, reducing eye strain during long screening sessions. Customizable Criteria: Define up to 4 custom Yes/No/Unclear questions tailored perfectly to your specific study's inclusion and exclusion criteria. Track Your Progress: A built-in progress tracker ensures you know exactly how many records you have reviewed and how many are left in your chunk.

Upload your Excel file containing your study titles and abstracts. Read the formatted text, answer your custom dropdown questions, and click Include, Exclude, or Maybe. When finished, click "Save & Download Progress" to export your fully coded Excel file, ready for your next research phase. Take control of your literature reviews and make manual screening faster, cleaner, and more organized!
