ABOUT CITEGEIST

Built by Researchers.
For Researchers.

CiteGeist was born from a shared frustration: hundreds of papers scattered across folders, tabs multiplying endlessly, and important ideas slipping into the void.

We didn't just study the problem, we lived it. So we built something better.

Developed by Xtasis Inc., CiteGeist eliminates the tedious, manual work of managing dense reading lists, and disconnected workflows. With AI-powered insights and an intuitive, distraction-free design, we are transforming how the next generation of scholars performs their work.

Research shouldn't be about managing documents. It's about building what comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up citation insertion in Word, Overleaf, and Google Docs?

Start by connecting your CiteGeist library and exporting your references in the format each writing tool expects. In Word and Google Docs, use the citation add-in/workflow to insert and format citations directly from your synced library. In Overleaf, export or sync BibTeX and cite your entries in LaTeX as you write. For step-by-step setup instructions for each platform, see the full citation guide.

I use a different reference manager, how easy is it to switch to CiteGeist?

We make migration simple and easy. Export your library as a .bib file, drop it in and let us take care of the rest. Our backend links existing records/papers so current and future papers stay associated with deduplication handled automatically. For step-by-step export help, see the Zotero + EndNote export guide.

Can I switch plans anytime?

Absolutely! You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Changes will take effect after the end of your current billing period.

What happens if I exceed my reference limit?

For Phantom users, you'll be prompted to upgrade to Poltergeist. Don't worry your data is always safe, and you can upgrade with a single click.

What if a reference does not automatically populate?

If a reference does not auto-populate, you can and should paste the BibTeX directly into the PDF viewer. Once added, all citation formats will automatically populate from that BibTeX, and these fields remain editable for every entry.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, and for Enterprise plans, we can arrange invoicing.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Of course! You can cancel at any time with no penalties. Your access continues until the end of your billing period, and you can export all your data.

Where can I find your terms and policies?

You can review our complete Terms of Use anytime, which cover our policies, your rights, and how we handle your content and data. By creating an account and using CiteGeist, you acknowledge and accept our Terms and Conditions.
