APA & MLA Citation Generator

Citelle is an APA & MLA citation generator that builds citations from the real record, not a guess. Paste a DOI, an ISBN, a link or a title and Citelle looks it up at doi.org, Crossref, Open Library or on the page itself, then formats the entry and its in-text citation.

CITE IN SECONDS
• Paste a DOI, ISBN, link or title and tap Find
• Scan the ISBN barcode on the back of a book
• Take a photo of a reference line; the text is read on your iPhone
• Edit any field by hand, or enter a source manually
• Citelle asks before lowering a name like Darwin in APA titles
• Add the English title for a source in another script, as APA asks

8 CITATION STYLES
APA 7, MLA 9 and Chicago author-date are free. Pro adds Chicago notes-bibliography, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver and ABNT. Switch styles and every entry reformats instantly.

CHECK AI SOURCES
Paste an answer from any AI chatbot, or a reference list. Each reference is looked up in Crossref, Semantic Scholar and Open Library and marked found, close match (showing what differs: the year, authors, DOI, volume, pages or journal) or not found. "Not found" isn't proof a source is fake: some local journals, books and grey literature aren't indexed, so look those up before you cite them.

YOUR BIBLIOGRAPHY
• Sorted the way each style requires, with in-text citations
• Copy it into Word, Pages or Google Docs with italics kept
• Pro exports a print-ready PDF page and a Word-ready .rtf with hanging indents, plus BibTeX and RIS for LaTeX

PRIVATE
No account and no Citelle server. Your bibliographies stay on your iPhone; only what you look up is sent to the record services.

FREE AND PRO
Free: one new source every day with its full reference, in-text citation and copy, one bibliography, APA 7, MLA 9 and Chicago author-date, and every AI check with its counts and the first reference's status and differences, plus the matching record's citation once a day. A second source on the same day is found and saved but stays blurred until tomorrow's free source or Pro opens it. Sources you saved before keep working. An optional daily reminder at 9:00 tells you when today's free source is ready.
Pro: every new source the day you find it, unlimited bibliographies, all 8 styles, full AI checks, PDF and file export, as a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
