A citation library for Mac and iPad

Your citations,
beautifully organised.

Turn the identifiers already in your research workflow into clean, editable BibTeX. Keep the result in a calm library that follows you between Mac and iPad.

Your research, in order

More than a conversion history.

Folders, tags and favourites turn loose identifiers into a library you can actually return to. On iPad, drag citations where they belong. iCloud keeps the same structure ready on your Mac.

  • Folders for projects, classes and papers
  • Flexible tags across the whole library
  • Favourites and fast search
  • Mac and iPad sync with iCloud

Focused by design

  • Not a Zotero replacement
  • Not a Mendeley replacement
  • Not an Overleaf replacement

Repertum complements those workflows with clean, portable citation data.

A proper BibTeX editor

Readable enough to review. Native enough to edit.

Repertum keeps generated citations editable. Fields align cleanly, long values wrap, and syntax colour makes the structure easy to scan without turning the app into an IDE.

Papers, books—and software

Cite the work behind the work.

Bring journal articles, theses, proceedings, datasets and software into one place. A GitHub repository can become a software citation, preferring its citation file when the project provides one.

Repertum also understands the wider BibTeX entry family, so the library is not limited to journal articles.

Interoperable by design

Your library leaves in the format you need.

Export a folder or the complete library. Keep BibTeX for LaTeX, or move into another research tool without rebuilding every record.

  • BibTeX.bib
  • RIS.ris
  • CSL JSON.json
  • EndNote.enw
  • PubMed.nbib

One library with iCloud

Changes made on Mac and iPad stay part of the same organised research library.

Built on open source

BibTeXKit at its core.

Repertum is built by the creator of BibTeXKit, the open-source Swift library that powers its BibTeX parsing and formatting.
