New and upcoming

Many of our users have asked us to give them more insights into what they can expect in the next updates of Papers for Mac. On this page we'll give you a glimpse into our kitchen and let you know what we're cooking. We'll do our best to regularly update the page so check back frequently if you want to know what's coming...

New features we've started working on

Twitter and Facebook posting - NEW in Papers 2.4

Like in Papers for iPhone and iPad you will soon be able to tweet about your favorite papers and share them on Facebook with friends.

Retina Support

We have started the monstrous task of preparing our 500+ images for the retina display. Papers already displays most parts at native resolution, including the PDF (gorgeously sharp!), the images are the missing bits though and we're working on that.

Automatic metadata matching

A short while ago we started asking our users if they wanted to share their library with us so we could build a way to automatically match your papers upon import. We were blown away with the response and want to thank everybody. Soon you'll see the first results of this effort and we'll try to automatically match your PDFs upon import.

Automatically download PDFs and supplemental data

We are planning to make Papers a bit smarter and have it automatically try to find the PDF download link and those for supplemental files for you.

Syncing your library across your devices

We hear you loud and clear, this is one of the most requested features. We have started working on a solution, stay tuned!

My feature is not on the list

We'd love to hear your ideas and how you think we can make Papers even better. If your favorite feature is not already on the list, you can send us your thoughts here. Note that we will always read each and every response we get, but cannot always answer all emails since we'd like to deliver you as many items on the lists above as possible, as quick as we can.

Is that all?

Definitely not, there's a lot more on our list. For a variety of reasons we cannot tell you all the features we're working on. For example, for some it is hard to estimate how long it will take us or whether some ideas are feasible at all. Other features we rather keep as a surprise, also towards our competitors. One thing is for sure there's a lot of new features coming now the foundation of Papers2 is in place.

Stay tuned!
