About

Quickly log academic papers with one click. Never lose track of what you've read or where you read it.

- Do you forget where you read something important that you want to cite or reread? 
- Do you keep a manually updated spreadsheet of papers with notes and project tags?
- Do you want to build a habit of reading the literature and taking useful notes?
- Are you a graduate student, postdoc, or researcher?

Then Academic Reading Log is for you.

How It Works:
1. Open an academic article webpage
2. Click the extension
3. Article metadata is extracted (Title, authors, journal, year, DOI, URL)
4. Add your notes, reading status, and project tags
5. Click save - your notes and article information are saved to a Google Sheet

Each paper becomes a structured row you can revisit anytime.

Why use this?
- Stop losing track of papers you meant to cite
- Keep notes connected to each paper
- Build a searchable archive of your reading
- Works across projects and years
- All data stays in YOUR Google Sheets (you own it)

Pricing:
Free for 25 papers, then $5 one-time payment for unlimited logging.

Privacy and Data:
Your reading log is stored entirely in your own Google Sheets. We never see or store your data.
