Citations

Lightweight reference creation

Free

Citations is a citation creation tool that helps you format website citations in MLA, APA, Chicago, IEEE, & Harvard formats for your school papers in just a few taps. Citations’ user interface was designed to be simple and easy to use. Just pick a format from the sidebar, fill out the fields, and tap one button to format the website citation properly. The entire process is seamless and quick, with zero latency or load times. It’s designed beautifully for Apple platforms following Apple Human Interface Guidelines and has support for the latest Apple technologies. Citations runs without an internet connection, too. This means you can cite your sources wherever you may be without worrying about page load times. It works, always. And the best part: Citations is free forever, with no ads, trackers, analytics, or paywalls. It’s made to help you do your best work, and that’s it. It prioritizes simplicity, beauty, and versatility. It’s privacy-conscious in every way — your citations are yours and yours only. Citations isn’t a reference manager, it’s purely a citation creator that generates citations quickly, so its user interface feels un-cluttered and intuitive. It puts privacy and simplicity above all else. Citations is made by an independent developer, with no VC backing, tip jars, or creepy upsells. Beautiful, simple, powerful, and made to help students — that’s Citations. Available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.

This update includes significant changes to the way citations are formatted. Here’s what has changed: - The APA format has been significantly overhauled to conform to the APA 7 guidelines. Many citations will look different — this means the app is aligned with the latest style guidance from the American Psychological Association. - APA no longer truncates citations with more than three authors using “et al.” This is in keeping with the latest guidance. MLA now does, in accordance with MLA 9. - The IEEE format has been significantly overhauled. When a publish date is available, a news article citation will be created. When a publish date is unavailable, a generic website citation will be created instead with the date retrieved, which will be set to the current date. - When a publication date is not available, the Chicago and MLA formats will include the date retrieved, which will be set to the current date. This is in keeping with the latest guidance. The retrieval date has also been added to all versions of the Harvard format. The APA format does not have a date retrieved field. - The APA, IEEE, and Harvard formats now account for users mistakenly entering the author’s full first name as opposed to their first initial. They will always get the first initial, regardless of what is entered. It is now less likely that one will create an incorrect citation in these formats. As a reminder, if your citations look incorrect, be sure to fill out all available fields and deselect the ones you aren’t using. - All formats include numerous fixes, like author names not being included or missing/misplaced punctuation. They’re significantly more reliable and correct. These updates make Citations significantly more reliable for high school and college students completing bibliographies. If you notice any discrepancies, please let me know via the in-app support email. If you find Citations helpful for your work, please let me know by leaving a review with your thoughts.
