Aftergleam is a privacy-focused Android application for discovering, ranking, and reading newly published academic research papers. It gathers publications from repositories covering physics, computer science, medicine, social sciences, law, chemistry, and other disciplines. A personalized daily digest highlights relevant papers and explains why each was selected. Its recommendation model learns from reading preferences and reactions directly on the device. Custom keywords prioritize papers mentioning specific research topics and provide notifications for new matches. Users can explore unfamiliar subjects or browse popular publications. An integrated PDF reader supports searching, copying text, and offline access. A specialized arXiv reader presents responsive text, figures, tables, and equations. Aftergleam also supports Zotero library imports and reading history exports without requiring an account.
