Get a properly formatted citation for the page you're reading in one click. Click the ChicagoCite icon and you'll see the footnote, short note, and bibliography entry together, ready to paste. Italics carry over into Google Docs and Word. It follows the 17th and 18th editions of Chicago style, in both Notes-Bibliography and Author-Date, and the 17th edition setting also matches Turabian 9th. Main features • Footnotes that sort themselves out: add sources in the order you use them, and first mentions become full notes while later ones shorten automatically. Reorder them and everything updates. • A check before you hand it in: flags missing details, error pages, and retracted articles. Fix any field and watch the result update as you type. • Verified details: when a page has a DOI or ISBN, the details are confirmed against public scholarly catalogs. • More than 20 kinds of sources, from books and journal articles to web pages, videos, and PDFs. • Several ways to work: click the toolbar icon, press a keyboard shortcut, right-click, search by title, or keep the side panel open while you research. • An organized library: keep sources in projects, add annotations, and export to Word, PDF, or the file formats reference managers use. • Built for big libraries: tested with one million sources in a single project, and it stays fast. Free and paid plans The free plan includes 100 new sources a month with every feature. A paid upgrade to lifetime access removes the limit, with no subscription. Each one counts once, the first time you save or copy it, and imports count too. If you reach the limit, you can't add new ones until the 1st of next month, but everything you've saved still opens, copies, and exports. Dodo Payments handles payment on its own secure page. Private by design There's no account, no ads, and no analytics. Your library stays on your device unless you turn on Chrome Sync, and the extension reads a page only when you ask it to. Lookups send only the identifier or search text to a public catalog. If you upgrade, your license key goes to Dodo Payments to confirm it.
