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 to Citations brings numerous minor bug fixes and performance improvements. Here’s what has changed:
- The Welcome to Citations screen for new users has now been updated for iOS 26 and handles larger text sizes more gracefully.
- Updated the Clear button so it resets the Date Published checkbox — this was a snag I’m happy to address finally.
- Fixed typos in the Chicago and MLA formats.
- Improved VoiceOver compatibility with buttons on iOS 18.
- Improved VoiceOver support in the Welcome to Citations screen; it will no longer read out the icons.
- Fixed an issue in the Finished Citation screen that would cause the text to truncate occasionally on small devices with large text sizes.
- Made significant code improvements to improve the reliability and performance of the app in various scenarios.
As always, every update takes work to put together, so if you’re enjoying Citations, I’d appreciate a rating in the App Store. Thanks for using Citations!
