About CitApp
CitApp helps students cite sources without the busywork. Paste a link or DOI and get a correctly formatted reference in seconds — then keep every source organised in one place.
Why we built it
Referencing is one of the most tedious parts of academic writing. Hunting down an author, a publication year and a publisher, then formatting it all by hand for every single source, eats hours that should go into actual research and writing. CitApp does that work for you.
Our positioning is simple: mark it, save it, done. No configuration, no learning curve. Paste a source, get a citation, drag it into the right chapter of your project.
What it does
CitApp automatically fetches metadata from a URL or DOI and generates a correct citation in any of 17 styles, including APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago, Vancouver and IEEE. Sources are organised into projects and categories so that, when you are finished, exporting a complete reference list takes one click.
Free for students
The core tool is free: five sources a week, all citation styles, no ads. Pro unlocks unlimited sources, full reference lists and AI summaries. See the pricing page for details.
