Citato is a bibliography editor and reference manager, a tool to organize and format citations.

- Easy formatting, grouping, and retrieval.
Citato can format  books, book chapters, journal articles, web pages, book reviews, music scores, photographs, etc. in the referencing style of your choice: APA, Chicago, Harvard, ISO 690, MLA, Nature, Turabian, Vancouver, and more

- Create bibliographies and citations (in-text or in footnotes/endnotes).
Citato can output annotated bibliographies in Rich Text Format (for Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or Apple Pages), HTML — great for online syllabi — or plain text. It even does Markdown and TEI / XML too.

- Group and organize your sources.
If you’re writing a paper, preparing syllabi for classes, or keeping track of primary sources, keep your references in separate groups. A group per class, per paper, per conference, per book chapter…. You decide. Reference entries can belong to multiple groups so reuse is not only possible but encouraged.

- Great for keeping notes and excerpts.
Attach notes to a reference entry or a group and they will always be available to cite again. No more flipping through books or opening up old files to find page numbers and quotations from old papers.

- Software you’re familiar with.
Citato does not require you to adopt new writing and editing software. Simply copy and paste reference entries when you need them or export them to a new document. Sharing is easy too: adding a perfectly formatted reference to a note or sending it in an email is just a click away.

- No subscription fees.
Citato is yours to use for as long as you want. Access to your data is not contingent on monthly or yearly payments. What’s more, Citato lets you manage your records and does not rely on low-quality bibliographical metadata from the web.

- At home on your Mac.
Spotlight can search Citato’s records to quickly locate your references. And with iCloud, your data is safely backed up and always available on any device where Citato is installed.

Release notes:
This is a service update. Citato 1.2.2 fixes a small number of minor bugs and can now format references in Chinese, English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish.
