Every "free" citation tool I've seen follows the same pattern: APA and MLA only, capped at 5-10 citations, then a subscription wall. For students juggling dissertations or literature reviews across dozens of sources, that's not actually free.
Built Citation Studio without those limits:
- 10 citation styles: APA 7/6, MLA 9/8, Chicago (Notes & Author-Date), Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, AMA, ACS, Bluebook, Turabian
- 27+ source types — books, journal articles, websites, YouTube, podcasts, GitHub repos, patents, court decisions, and AI chat conversations (ChatGPT/Claude citations are a newer style-guide addition)
- Smart URL/DOI auto-detection that fills author, title, date, and publisher for you
- Bibliography builder — collect sources as you research, export as BibTeX, RIS, EndNote, CSV, or JSON
- 100% client-side — nothing is uploaded, works offline, no account
Free forever, no citation limit.

Curious if there's a citation style or source type still missing that people actually need — happy to add it.
