Development pilot · A running Leaf library host is required
What changes when we read with a question in mind?

One collection. Three ways in.
Find an answer, work through an idea, or leave yourself a note. Your reading belongs in the same conversation.
How can I make my reading more deliberate?
FROM YOUR COLLECTIONStart with a question. Notice what the text supports, write down what remains uncertain, and return to the passage when your understanding changes.
Bring a question to the page. Record what you find, and leave room for what you have yet to understand.
Original illustrative text, written for this preview.Turn a topic into a focused study session. Work through questions, then return to the reading to fill in the gaps.
What is one question you could bring to your next chapter?
“Which claim is the author making, and what evidence supports it?”
A good question gives me something to look for. Next time: keep the question beside the passage, then write what changed.
Linked reading: Field notesKeep typed notes and handwriting together. AI transcription depends on your configured provider.
A preview of the workflow, not a live AI session. Your actual answers depend on the sources and provider you connect.
Start with what you trust.
Bring in a PDF, a book, a folder of documents, or a website. Keep originals on your computer, or a local folder, and give your collection a searchable home.
Set up your librarySearch your own collection first. Follow an answer back to the passage that informed it.
When outside research is enabled and no library match is found, look to the websites you have chosen.
An optional final step, with a configured search provider. Outside material stays labeled as outside material.
A desk. A sofa. A change of scene.
Use the Windows client at your desk and the mobile-friendly workspace on your phone. Connect to the same reachable server and sign in to keep your work tied to your account.
Try a guest workspace. Sign in when you want account-based continuity; guest workspaces do not merge.
Use an AI provider supported by your server configuration. Hosted AI needs an internet connection.

Allowances and fair-use priority management are being tested. Final limits and availability will be confirmed before subscriptions launch.
Before you settle in.
Yes. Originals can stay in a local folder, in a local folder. Leaf indexes extracted text and citation information. The Leaf host must be reachable from the client you are using.
No. Hosted AI and outside research need internet access. Keeping original files locally does not make hosted AI offline. Your phone also needs a connection to the Leaf host.
Answers link to retrieved passages. The reader preserves location information such as pages and passage anchors; matching local PDFs can show their original page. A citation helps you check the answer—it is not a guarantee that the AI interpretation is correct.
The Windows Leaf installer. It installs the client; you also need a running Leaf host or a connection to an existing host. The phone experience is a web / Expo pilot, not an app-store release.
The installed Windows client has a check, download, and restart flow. Windows updates are distributed through Leaf’s public release repository. Compatible phone OTA updates also require a configured Expo project and native build.
Your next idea might already be on your shelf.
Local setup required. No subscription checkout.
