Real researcher workflows
FileMind works for libraries of every size and type of research.
The PhD with 800 papers
Sarah has papers scattered across three research topics in her Downloads folder. FileMind scanned her library in 4 minutes, proposed renames grouped by Author_Year_Title, and she approved 95% in one click. Now she finds any paper in seconds.
The shared lab drive
The Martinez Lab has 2,000+ papers on a network drive with filenames from a decade of rotating students. FileMind's batch rename cleaned up the entire collection, and the Zotero export got their shared library current in an afternoon.
The systematic review
James needed to find every paper on transformer efficiency across his collection for a literature review. FileMind's semantic search surfaced 47 relevant papers — including 12 he'd forgotten he had — and exported clean BibTeX for his LaTeX manuscript.
