Your questions, answered
What is LitWatch?
A tool that builds a literature watch plan with search queries and a DIY alert setup.
Does it monitor arXiv live?
No. It drafts queries and a plan. You run searches or set alerts in those services yourself.
Does it email me papers?
No. It does not push email. Use Scholar/arXiv/PubMed alerts with the queries we suggest.
Who should use it?
Researchers who want a clean query pack without inventing syntax each week.
Are sample papers real hits?
No. Digest lines are illustrative shapes, not live search results.
Is my topic sold?
No. Inputs are used for this run only and are not sold as training data.
Which countries and regions can I use LitWatch in?
As a cloud web app, LitWatch is reachable from any country with internet access; there is no region lock by default. Payment availability via our merchant of record (Waffo Pancake) may vary by processor and region.
Is LitWatch GDPR and privacy compliant?
Your inputs are used only to generate your output and are never sold. Retention, sub-processors, and your rights are described on our Privacy page; Enterprise plans can include a DPA and NDA on request.
What languages does LitWatch support?
The interface and generated results are in English. You can paste input in other major languages wherever the underlying model understands them.
