Zotero for Mobile

The mobile version of zotero.org allows you to access and edit your Zotero library on your tablet or mobile phone.

The Zotero Bookmarklet allows you to save items from your mobile device's browser directly to your zotero.org account.

While there are no official Zotero apps for mobile devices, there are several third party solutions.

Cross-platform apps

  • BrowZine, by Third Iron
    • Find, browse, and read your favorite scholarly journals
    • Be alerted when new issues are published
    • Export your favorite articles to Zotero from your BrowZine Library

iOS Apps

  • BibUp, by Centre NTE (Université de Fribourg)
    • Add books to your Zotero library by scanning ISBN barcodes with your iOS device
