Every digest pairs a new paper with a seminal classic — so you stay current without losing depth.
Rate papers 1–5 stars. The model recalculates after each session and sharpens your next digest.
Configure LitFlo for your field — bioleaching, ecology, ML, materials science — and it adapts.
Free users get a weekly digest. Pro users choose daily, weekly, or custom. Never overwhelming — pause or cancel any time.
Two papers, hand-picked by your personal model. Each card includes an AI-generated summary, key findings, and a direct link to the full paper via your institution's subscription.

LitFlo started as a personal script. A researcher in bioleaching and rare earth element recovery was tired of missing important papers and equally tired of reading papers that weren't worth her time.
The system that became LitFlo fetches from PubMed, OpenAlex, and Semantic Scholar every morning, generates one-sentence AI summaries, and ranks everything against a growing personal rating history. After two weeks of daily use, it became the only research tool she opened first.
LitFlo is now being built into a platform so any researcher — in any field — can have the same thing.
Everything you need to know before you sign up.
Any field with papers indexed on PubMed, OpenAlex, or Semantic Scholar — which covers most of science and engineering. You configure your topic, search terms, and subtopics when you set up your account.
Free accounts receive one weekly digest with 2 recent papers and 1 foundational classic. Pro accounts can switch to daily or custom frequency and adjust paper counts — all changeable any time from your account page.
After reading each digest, rate the papers 1–5 stars. The ML model recalculates your preference profile after each session — learning which topics, authors, and paper types you actually read.
LitFlo pulls from PubMed, OpenAlex, and Semantic Scholar — giving broader coverage across life sciences, engineering, and computer science.
LitFlo is free forever on the Free plan. Pro is $5/month — upgrade any time for daily digests and adjustable paper counts. No contracts, no hidden fees, cancel any time.
LitFlo links to DOIs — if your institution has a subscription you'll have full access. Many papers are also available open-access.
