Description

Wispar is a user-friendly and privacy-friendly app for Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS and Linux that seamlessly searches scientific journals and articles using the Crossref and OpenAlex APIs. Stay updated on your preferred journals by following them and receive new article abstracts in your main feed. No account required.
