Fast
Cite the page you're reading in a couple of clicks, or type the details for anything else. No hunting for the right form.
Private
No login, no accounts, zero data collection. The extension makes zero network requests; the web tool sends only a link, ISBN, or DOI you paste, to look it up. Nothing about you leaves your device.
Free
Free for everyone — no ads, no paywall, nothing to buy. A public service built by a student who got tired of citation sites.
Made by a student, for students

Bonsai doesn't just format citations — it teaches why they matter.
