MyBib creates formatted bibliographies, citations, and works cited for academic assignments and papers. It can build references for books, journals, websites, and videos from a title or identifier such as a URL or ISBN. The maker says it supports over 9,000 citation styles, including APA, Chicago, Harvard, and MLA. Users can arrange sources in nested folders and create in-text citations that combine sources with a page, chapter, or section locator. Bibliographies can be downloaded to Word or Google Docs, imported into Zotero or Mendeley, or exported as BibTeX and JSON. MyBib is available on the web and through free Chrome, Firefox, and Edge extensions. Its free plan works without an account, has no project or citation limit, and stores work on the user's device by default. MyBib Plus costs $2 per month, paid annually at $24 per year, and adds server storage and access across devices. MyBib says it mostly remains usable without an internet connection.
