SourceKeeper
Citations shouldn't be hard
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Scan books, photograph articles, generate Chicago/MLA citations free. No adds, No Subscriptions, Ever. Pro unlocks APA, DOCX export & unlimited projects for $1.99.
SourceKeeper is the research companion built for students, academics, and anyone who needs properly formatted citations without the headache.
Scan a book's barcode and SourceKeeper looks up the title, authors, publisher, and publication details automatically. Photograph a journal article page and it reads the metadata for you. Or skip the scanning entirely and enter sources by hand — whatever fits your workflow.
Cite every source type
Books, journal articles, book chapters, websites, and newspaper or magazine articles — all formatted correctly in Chicago 17th edition, MLA 9th edition, or APA 7th edition.
Stay organized by project
Create a project for each paper, chapter, or course. Your sources stay grouped, your bibliography stays clean.
Export in one tap
Generate a formatted bibliography or footnote list for any project, or a master bibliography across all your projects. Export as RTF and open directly in Word, Pages, or Google Docs — italics and formatting intact.
Built for real research
Citations follow current style guide rules for author formatting, title case, volume and issue numbers, DOIs, edited volumes, and more. Footnote and bibliography formats are both generated for every source.
Make it yours
Four built-in themes — Academia, Midnight, Botanical, and Slate — plus full color pickers for accent, background, and card colors. Adjust button shape from square to fully rounded.
