Bibliome is a very interesting new dekstop RAG that runs entirely locally. It’s great at surfacing items (particularly, PDFs) that have sunk in a dense library. It’s early days, and not quite as open as Bookends/DEVONthink - though it shares some of their functionality - a Hookmark integration would go a great distance to integrating it properly into those tools and addressing functionality it doesn’t focus on.
I suspect there’s no AppleScript dictionary for it yet, but it would be grest to add to the list of things that should be touched by Hookmark in future. I’ve sent requests to the developers, but I’m not sure what their roadmap for the application is yet. If, by any chance, there was enough to start an integration, could I urge for it to be added (ideally, before my thesis deadline!)
thank you, as a professor I concur this looks very interesting! I will buy a copy for myself.
I’d love for it to have an API for Hookmark to get recommendations from it and show it in the RELATED section of the context window. We’ll have a look and will ask the developers per:
I had another look at this and wondered whether it can complement (but not replace of course) Bookends which I use for my academic PDFs. I also have a folder of various PDFs from the web that it could search. Not sure it can handle 2 top level folders. will check. There doesn’t seem to be a free download.
I like this:
Will it move or rename anything?
Only if you ask it to. “Organize My Library” is the auto-filing feature — it files PDFs into category folders and cleans up filenames, for people who want their pile reorganized. If you already like your folder structure, simply don’t run it: search, meaning search, and Ask Your Library all work over your existing layout, and nothing else moves a single file.
their business model is a bit concerning since it’s a one-time fee for a lifetime license – hard to see how that can be sustainable.
