Empowering students and researchers worldwide with precise, privacy-first word counting solutions since our founding.
Our Mission: To provide the most accurate and privacy-focused word counting tools for academic work, helping students achieve their best without compromising their data security.
CiteCount was born from a simple frustration experienced by countless students: existing word counters weren't accurate for academic work. Traditional tools counted everything, including citations and references, leading to inaccurate word counts that could affect grades and compliance with assignment requirements.
As IB students ourselves, we understood the critical importance of precise word counts. The International Baccalaureate programme has strict word limits for Extended Essays, Internal Assessments, and other coursework. A few words over the limit could mean the difference between acceptance and rejection of your work.
What started as a personal tool quickly grew into something much larger. We realized that our solution could help millions of students worldwide who faced the same challenges. Today, CiteCount serves over 100,000 students across 50+ countries, processing millions of words while maintaining our commitment to privacy and accuracy.
Your documents never leave your device. All processing happens locally, ensuring your academic work remains completely private and secure.
Built specifically for academic work with understanding of citation formats, referencing styles, and educational requirements.
Every feature is designed with students in mind, from IB requirements to university standards, ensuring relevance and usefulness.
We constantly evolve based on user feedback, adding new features and improving existing ones to serve our community better.

From day one, we've built CiteCount with privacy as a fundamental principle, not an afterthought. Your documents are processed entirely on your device, ensuring that your academic work, ideas, and research remain completely private.
While other tools try to be everything to everyone, we focus specifically on academic needs. This specialization allows us to provide features and accuracy that generic tools simply can't match.
