ResearchVault brings your papers, notes, projects, tasks and files together in one secure workspace on your own Windows machine. No account, no cloud, no one reading over your shoulder.
Academic research can be chaotic. ResearchVault gives it one home — and keeps that home yours.
Papers, notes, datasets, protocols and action items live in one connected workspace. Wiki-links tie a note to the paper it came from and the project it feeds, so you always see the full picture.
Your findings are valuable. ResearchVault stores its database and every attached file on your own PC — nothing is uploaded, so there is no server to leak from and no vendor lock-in to escape.
Projects are built from discipline templates — Biotechnology, AI & CS, Engineering, Medical, Social Science — so your literature review, hypothesis and results follow a structure you can export cleanly and stand behind.
A premium toolset for students, scientists and academics who want absolute data ownership and focus.
Start a project from a template designed for your discipline and its sections become your tabs — research question, literature review, protocol and the rest. Milestones you set appear on your dashboard and calendar.
Import a PDF and its text is read for search; look a paper up by DOI; or add a reference by hand. Read, highlight in colour, keep your own notes — and copy a citation in APA, MLA, Chicago or BibTeX, offline.
Research notes, ideas and meeting notes — each with the fields that kind actually needs. Type [[ to link a paper, project or another note, and backlinks show you everything that points here.
Tasks grouped by urgency, a calendar that draws deadlines from your projects automatically, and one indexed store for data, images and documents — with an Inbox folder that imports whatever you drop in it.
Press Ctrl+K and search everything at once — titles, notes, metadata, and the extracted text inside every imported PDF — powered by a blazingly fast local search index.
One-click backup of your whole vault into a single ZIP you can restore on any machine. Export your papers as a spreadsheet, and your notes and projects as clean Markdown other tools understand.
The entire interface is available in six languages — and your research content stays in whatever language you write it in.
One workspace for your papers, notes, projects and files — on your own machine, in your own language, under your own control.
