Hundreds of new research papers appear every day. Aftergleam reads them and shows you the few worth your time.

Privacy
Your reading history and the model stay on your device. To fetch papers, the app has to ask the preprint servers for them, so those servers see the requests it makes. The privacy policy lists exactly what is sent.
Aftergleam is free software under the GNU General Public License, version 3 or later.
