MyBib

What MyBib is

MyBib creates formatted citations, bibliographies, and works cited for academic assignments and papers. It can generate 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 organize work in nested folders, build an in-text citation from multiple sources, and add 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 extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. The free plan does not require an account and has no project or citation limit; work is stored 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 continues working without internet after a technical rebuild. Its privacy policy says it may collect account email, usage, and cookie data, and does not guarantee absolute security of data transmission or storage.
