What LiquidText is
LiquidText is a document review and annotation application for organizing information across pages and files. It helps readers move through documents efficiently, locate facts, and keep notes, ideas, and observations linked to their source context. Cross-document links connect relevant material from separate pages or documents, while contextual search places results and highlights beside surrounding content. Users can annotate documents, work offline, and export organized notes or excerpts as PDF and DOCx files for sharing and collaboration. LiquidText runs on iPadOS, Windows 10, and macOS, supporting tablets, hybrids, laptops, desktops, touch, pen and ink, mouse, trackpad, and multi-monitor setups. LiquidText LIVE adds real-time synchronization, continuous cloud backup, and multi-device display. The product has a free plan and is made by LiquidText Inc., founded in 2015.
