Onhand: Chat with PDFs, Answers Highlighted geliştiren: ramaway

Onhand is a free, open-source AI reading assistant for Firefox. Ask a question about the webpage, PDF or research paper you're reading, and Onhand highlights the passage that answers it, leaves a note in the margin, and explains it in the sidebar. You check the answer against the source instead of trusting a chat transcript.

Free to try: no API key, no account. Choose Onhand Free in the sidebar and start asking, with a daily limit. For more, sign in with your ChatGPT plan or use your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or OpenRouter key.

• Chat with any webpage or PDF and see the source, highlighted on the page with a note beside it.
• A built-in PDF viewer for papers, textbooks and long documents. For a PDF on your computer, choose or drop the file into the viewer.
• Follows citations: ask what a reference like [14] says, and Onhand opens the cited paper and answers from it.
• Compares sources across clearly related open tabs, highlighting each claim where it came from.
• Learning mode asks guiding questions and quizzes you as you read, instead of handing over answers.
• Study sessions stay in your browser, so you can reopen a paper and pick up where you left off.

Onhand starts with the active page and may read clearly related open tabs; relevant page content goes to the AI provider you choose (through Onhand's hosted service for Onhand Free). Anonymous diagnostics are sent only if you allow technical data in Firefox.
