Reference manager · literature analysis · writing
Analyse a paper once. Its summaries, tags and evidence follow it into every project: no re-reading, no second bill.
Free plan with 60 AI credits a month. No card needed.
Built by a UPSI senior lecturer for the literature reviews he kept writing.
Turn a folder of PDFs into a matrix, themes and a cited chapter.
Analyse a paper once and reuse it in every project and manuscript.
Stop juggling five tools. CurTask brings them into one workspace:
Library, Analysis and Writing all use the same papers, so you never lose your place when you switch.
Drop in PDFs or Word files. CurTask skips duplicates, fills in the details from the DOI, reads scanned pages and compresses PDFs without losing a word of their text.
Ask in plain words, get a full column. Describe what you want (for example “sample size and country”) and the AI fills it for every paper, each value with its quote and page.
Write in sections you can reorder, with your sources beside the draft. Drag a passage in and it arrives as a quote with its citation, still linked to its page.
Reuse across projects
A paper is processed once and recognised by its content, not its file name. Add it to a second project and it arrives with its text, summaries, tags and analyses already attached — no re-reading, no second bill.
Browser extension
Coming soon to Chrome, Edge and Brave: the free Save to CurTask extension puts the paper you're reading in your library — details, PDF, projects, tags and a note — and tells you when there's no PDF to save.
For students
Sign up with your university email, confirm that you're enrolled, and get faster AI and more credits at a student price.
Student status lasts 12 months; we check once a year.
Use the address your university gave you; it becomes your sign-in email. No card needed to check.
Analyse your papers, fill your matrix and code your sources with more credits every month.
If you go back to the free plan, your papers, notes and writing stay where they are.
Said plainly, because "we take privacy seriously" isn't an answer. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
Your papers, their text, your notes and your writing are stored on our servers in Malaysia, and so are the backups.
Your text goes to an AI service only when you use an AI feature, only the parts that feature needs, and it is never used to train AI. Each service, and the country it is in, is named on our list.
Only you can see your library, notes, codes and writing. Duplicate checks never look across accounts.
Your papers and writing are never used to train AI models — ours or anyone else's.
Keep what works. CurTask reads your own PDFs, fills a literature matrix with the page and quote behind every value, and lets you code and write in the same project.
CurTask is a web app for literature reviews. It combines a reference manager, a literature matrix, qualitative coding and a writing tool, with AI that shows the page and quote behind every value.
Yes, you can start free with no card. The free plan includes 60 AI credits a month to analyse papers and fill your matrix, and you code your papers by hand. The Student and Researcher plans add faster AI, more credits (1,000 and 2,500 a month) and AI that codes all your papers.
Every value the AI fills in comes with the page number and the exact quote it came from, checked against your PDF. If no source is found, CurTask says so instead of guessing. AI text stays marked as suggested until you accept it.
Soon. A free Save to CurTask extension for Chrome, Edge and Brave is on its way: it will save the paper you're reading — its details, the PDF your own access lets you open, projects, tags and a note — in one click. To hear when it's ready, create a free account and tick "Send me product news by email". Until then, drag PDFs into CurTask or search for papers in the app.
Your papers, their text, your notes and your writing are kept on our servers in Malaysia, and so are the backups. Only you can see them, and you can download all of it at any time.
No. Your papers and writing are never used to train AI models, ours or anyone else's.
Eight styles, including APA, MLA, Chicago and IEEE. Your thesis chapters or article compile to Word (DOCX), PDF, Markdown or HTML.
Yes. The screens are in English and Bahasa Melayu, and each project has its own AI language. Quotes always stay in the language of the paper.
Start on the free plan with no card: analyse papers, fill your matrix and code by hand. Pay only when you want the faster AI, more credits and AI that codes all your papers.
Free to start. Student and Researcher plans from RM 25 a month.
