Gorae – TUI librarian for PDFs and EPUBs

Gorae is a terminal-first TUI librarian for PDFs and EPUBs—fast browsing, solid metadata, quick search, and mouse support. It’s built as a Vim/CLI-friendly alternative to Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• Vim-style browsing: fast file navigation with a cozy TUI feel.
• Favorites: keep your best papers one keystroke away.
• To-read queue: stash papers for later.
• Reading states: Unread / Reading / Read tracked via metadata.
• Search: metadata + full-text search with previews/snippets.
• Auto metadata import: detect DOI / arXiv IDs inside PDFs and fetch info.
• In-app editing: edit metadata, import from arXiv, copy BibTeX.
• Themeable UI: colors, glyphs, borders — plus helper folders usable in any file manager.
