Gewu Insight is a desktop research workspace for collecting papers, organizing their files and versions, following new literature, and keeping reading notes alongside your research.

Research workspace

  • Organize papers in Library folders, Shortcuts and Spaces.
  • Keep manuscripts, published articles, supplementary files and notes together in Paper Files.
  • Follow journals, subjects and authors, and manage My Publications.
  • Read PDFs and Markdown, browse scholarly websites, and save supported papers into your collection.
  • Connect compatible AI clients through MCP with explicitly scoped access and append-only analysis notes.

Requirements and installation

Requires Windows 10 version 1607 or later, or Windows 11, on an Intel/AMD x64 PC.

  1. Download Gewu-Insight-Windows-1.0.0-x64-Setup.exe from Assets.
  2. Run Setup and choose the program and Gewu Database folders.
  3. Open Gewu Insight from the Start menu.

Python, .NET and application dependencies are included. Setup reuses Microsoft WebView2 or installs it from Microsoft when needed. The installer is unsigned.

Program and database locations

  • Program: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Gewu Insight by default.
  • New Gewu Database: %USERPROFILE%\Gewu Database by default, or another folder you choose.
  • Existing collection: select Use existing Gewu Database and its root folder.

Program and research data are stored separately. Uninstalling the program retains research data. Before updating, quit the App and its service, then back up the complete selected Gewu Database folder, all additional managed roots and externally linked originals. Copying the program or SQLite alone is not a complete backup.

Help and license

Choose Help > User Guide for the bundled manual. Online literature services require internet access and remain subject to publisher and institutional access. Optional LibreOffice and TeX tools are installed separately.

The Gewu Insight Academic and Non-Commercial Research License and included third-party notices apply. Installer checksums and build information accompany the download. GitHub's Source code archives are for development; use the installer for your platform.

Bundled component versions, notice locations and pending documentation corrections are recorded in the installer component inventory. The existing installer assets are unchanged.
