Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

Mereth Reader is a local-first desktop application for reading technical PDFs that connects annotations and figure captures to source-linked notes, with an integrated spaced-repetition system. It is interesting for its explicit focus on the evidence-to-notes-to-review pipeline while keeping all data on-device without any cloud dependency.

Target audience: researchers, students, and developers who read technical PDFs
