We offer a single lifetime plan for a one-time payment of $30, giving you permanent* access to all premium features, including unlimited PDF files, smart annotations, real-time Notion sync, and more.
We can offer a one-time payment model because all your core data (annotations, notes, progress) is stored directly in your own Notion workspace. This significantly reduces our operational costs (no expensive cloud storage and database fees), and we pass these savings on to you. *Lifetime access is dependent on Notion API remaining available and free.
Your PDF files themselves can be stored in Notion or anywhere else you choose. All annotations, highlights, notes, and reading progress data are securely stored in your own Notion database page properties. We only store necessary account information and configuration data. We take data security and privacy very seriously.
We support various Notion property types to sync your reading data, including Text, Number, Select, Multi-select, and Files. You can flexibly configure properties for storing current page, reading progress, categories, and tags in the settings.
Users begin by linking their Notion Database to the application. Within this Database, a specific property must be designated to store PDF files (supporting both local uploads and external links). The application reads the PDF from this property to enable core features such as online PDF reading, reading progress tracking, timeline generation, and the creation of highlights and annotations. All data generated from these operations (like highlighted notes, reading logs, etc.) is automatically synchronized and saved back into the corresponding properties within the user's specified Notion Database, ensuring data ownership and centralized management for the user.
