Sonny Software has released Bookends 15.3.1 with Apple Intelligence improvements for the reference management tool. The update now enables you to import references from an existing bibliography using Apple Intelligence (a process that is slow but non-blocking, allowing you to keep working), automatically autofill references extracted by Apple Intelligence after import if they contain unique identifiers, and allow Apple Intelligence to suggest keywords. (Apple Intelligence features require macOS 15.1 Sequoia or later.)
Bookends 15.3.1 also updates Smart Folder behavior with more useful logic, removes any whitespace (such as trailing spaces) when items are added to Term Lists, enables you to remove a reference from multiple groups at once, adds an AppleScript command to sync a linked BibTeX or CSL-JSON text file, restores Google Books searches, remembers reference list sort direction between launches, and presents a clearer error message with instructions on how to proceed if you exceed your quota on iCloud Drive while syncing.
