Beautiful
Sente 6.5 has an all-new interface that reflects the clean, new look of Mac OS X. When you use at Sente, you see your research and your ideas, not our software. Single collection tabs let you focus on one group of references at a time, like all those references with the To Be Read status. Single reference tabs eliminate everything but the one reference you are currently reading.
On OS X 10.7, immerse yourself in your library with full screen mode.
Gather
Sente makes building your research library easier than ever. Targeted browsing lets you add references from many web sites such as EBSCOHost, JSTOR, and PubMed with just a click, without leaving Sente. Another click downloads the PDF and adds it to your library.
Bulk searches can automatically retrieve hundreds or thousands of references from many sources such as PubMed, Web of Knowledge, and hundreds of university and research libraries. Best of all, they remain active in the background, alerting you daily to new references in your fast-moving field.
Get started by importing libraries directly from EndNote, Bookends, Papers, Mendeley, Zotero, and Reference Manager.
Organize
Sente has the tools you need to stay organized, even as your library grows to thousands of references or more. Hierarchical QuickTags give you unprecedented power for cataloging your references.
Built-in smart collections give you quick access to your library. Custom smart collections let you create just the subsets you need. Custom statuses make it easy to make Sente fit your personal research workflow.
Batch editing makes it easy to edit any combination of fields in dozens or hundreds of references at once.
Customize
Sente lets you customize your library to meet your specific needs. Custom statuses help you keep track of your references through each step of your research workflow. Custom reference types let you handle whatever kind of references you might need. Custom attributes let you add any special fields you might need to any reference type. And you can configure the reference editor to present your data just the way you want to see it.
Cloud Sync
Sente lets you create synchronized copies of your libraries and place them on any number of Macs and iPads, anywhere in the world, and all copies will stay in sync automatically.
Once you turn it on, it just works—continuously and behind the scenes—and everything syncs: references, PDFs (including highlighting), notes, even customizations.
Create full-access copies for your own computers and restricted copies for sharing with students or colleagues. Even if you don't need to sync multiple devices, it's a great backup strategy too.
Read, Annotate, Take Notes
Highlight passages in your PDFs and capture quotations and your own thoughts in notes, using Sente's powerful annotation tools. Create any number of notes for each reference and easily jump from any note back to its linked place in the text. Best of all, your notes and highlighting are immediately synced through the cloud across all copies of your library.
Bibliographies
Of course, in the end, you need to write up your own work. Sente supports all the popular Mac word processors, including Pages, Word, Mellel, Scrivener, Nisus Writer, Open Office, and other applications that support Rich Text Format. More than 100 bibliography formats are included and you can create your own or tweak existing formats to meet your needs. Citations can even appear in footnotes, if your style requires that.
If you collaborate with people who write with Microsoft Word and EndNote, on a Mac or Windows, you will be able to exchange drafts with them seamlessly because Sente reads and writes docx files that are compatible with EndNote.
Download the Free, 30-Day Demo
Try Sente for yourself. Download Sente and it will run without restriction for 30 days (except that synchronized libraries will be limited to fifty references). If, during that time, you find that Sente has become indispensable in your research, you can purchase a license and keep right on running with the libraries you created during the demo period.
