This application has been primarily designed with academics, research students and professors in mind. However, it is useful to anyone who has to deal with significant amounts of PDF files in their work. It helps save precious time and keeps files always a click or two away.

Papertrail is a product of research in information management and episodic memory and aims to help people re-find information they have once viewed. It is currently available under a study participant license. The study is conducted at Monash University, Melbourne, under ethics approval as student research.

The application is freely available on Papertrail's website, but only for a limited time. The creators of Papertrail are using this release to invite users to download the app and provide potentially insightful feedback. Once the application has been downloaded, users will be able to rate it and give their opinion on its functionality and use.

A Mac version is planned for future release.
