Canonical page: https://macbase.app/alternatives/liquidtext

Reading app for PDFs and documents that lets you pull out excerpts, link ideas and take notes side by side.

LiquidText's way of working takes some learning, and its fuller features are paid. Alternatives include simple, free PDF readers with notes, apps that turn highlights into flashcards or mind maps, and reference managers built for papers.
