BibKit
A better way to manage BibTeX
BibKit is a modern macOS BibTeX manager for PDF citation extraction, DOI/arXiv/HAL lookup, duplicate repair, and clean LaTeX-ready export.
Top comment
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built BibKit because managing academic PDFs and BibTeX files on macOS still feels more painful than it should. Researchers, students, and technical writers often end up jumping between PDFs, .bib files, citation managers, and manual cleanup. BibKit is a local-first macOS reference library for PDFs and BibTeX. You can import and export .bib files, drop in PDFs, extract citation drafts, look up metadata from sources like arXiv, CrossRef, and OpenAlex, then review and edit the BibTeX before adding it to your library. The goal is simple: make citation management feel fast, private, and native on Mac. I’d love your feedback, especially from researchers, PhD students, academics, and anyone who works with papers regularly. What would make this more useful for your workflow?
