All releases & notes ↗What is Poolr for?+
Poolr is a desktop workspace for systematic reviews and meta-analysis. It brings protocol planning, screening, data extraction, risk of bias, analysis and manuscript preparation into one review workflow.
Can I work locally?+
Yes. Desktop projects can be opened, saved and exported as local files. Connected literature searches and Drive exchange need an internet connection.
How does collaboration work?+
The v0.6.4 release candidate uses rclone to exchange project revisions through a shared Drive folder. Every collaborator configures their own remote. Owners approve membership, and concurrent revisions need explicit resolution. Drive sharing remains a separate permission boundary.
Does Poolr make a review publication-ready?+
Research quality still depends on your protocol, study selection, inputs and methodological judgment. Poolr supports the process; it does not automatically make a review PRISMA-compliant or validate every analysis.
Where can I report an issue?+
Open an issue on GitHub. Include your app version, operating system and the steps to reproduce the problem. Remove private research data before sharing logs or screenshots.
LESS FRICTION. MORE RESEARCH.
