CiteDrive
CiteDrive is a cloud-first, collaborative, BibTeX-native reference manager designed by and for Overleaf, LaTeX, and R Markdown users. It was designed from the ground up to stay out of your way so you can focus on writing.
CiteDrive was born out of a shared desire among our team, friends, and colleagues that managing references felt so cumbersome compared to today's consumer-grade tools and collaborative editors. Worse, there were no really good solutions that were truly designed for LaTeX and R Markdown authors, rather than being an afterthought.
CiteDrive continues to focus on refining and simplifying the experience of finding references and citing as you write. After some failed experiments, the first end-to-end solution for Overleaf and R Markdown users was tested in the fall of 2021, and quickly evolved into the platform that exists today.
