What students are tired of with old citation sites, and how CitApp fixes it.

- Manual entry for every field
- Blocked on sources behind paywalls
- Sources scattered across tabs and docs

- Build and copy your whole list free, no account needed
- Automatic metadata from DOI, PubMed, arXiv & books
- Reaches paywalled sources and finds authors on broken pages
- Projects & categories, plus export to BibTeX, RIS and Word
From web page to finished source, in two clicks
No more copying links into a Google doc, losing half of them, and piecing together your reference list the night before the deadline.

Citations you can actually trust
Academic sources are pulled from authoritative databases, not guesses. You always see the details and can adjust before you copy.
Never lose a source again
No more unsynced tabs, half-pasted links in a document, and references you can’t find again. Everything you save is collected, sorted and kept, ready when you write.
Pulled from real databases
Metadata comes straight from CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv and Google Books, so authors, dates and page numbers are correct, not invented.
Understand the source, without cheating
An AI summary of each source, short enough that you still have to put it in your own words. An honesty tool, not a cheating tool.
