Drop PDFs or .bib files, review the result, repair metadata, and export clean LaTeX-ready BibTeX without fighting a database-style interface' and is an app in the education & reference category. There are four alternatives to BibKit for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge apps. The best BibKit alternative is Zotero, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like BibKit are Mendeley, JabRef and BibDesk.
