Rectoly — Support

Last updated September 19, 2026

Hawk Eye develops Rectoly, an app for reading, annotating, and syncing academic PDFs with a reference manager. It comes in two editions — Rectoly for Mendeley and Rectoly for Zotero — for iPad and iPhone, Mac, Android, and Windows. Use this page to get help with any of them.

Guide and FAQ

Step-by-step help for both editions on every system is in the Rectoly Guide (also in 日本語 and 18 other languages). Common questions are answered in the FAQ, and Troubleshooting covers sync, search and display problems.

Please include the edition (Mendeley or Zotero), your device and operating system version, and the Rectoly version (Settings → About) when reporting a problem. Settings → Troubleshooting can export a diagnostic bundle to attach; it holds no paper text and no annotations.

Purchases and billing

Rectoly is a one-time purchase after a 14-day trial, and one purchase unlocks the same edition on all of your devices. Who handles the payment depends on where you bought it:

To use a purchase on another device, sign in there with the same Mendeley or Zotero account and choose Settings → Purchase → Restore.
