Ibis 0.2.3: press a shortcut in any app, find a reference, and copy its citation.

Download

System File
macOS, Apple silicon (M1 and later) Ibis-macOS-Apple-silicon.dmg
macOS, Intel Ibis-macOS-Intel.dmg
Windows Ibis-Windows-setup.exe
Linux Ibis-Linux.AppImage (also .deb and .rpm below)

Command line: ibis-macOS-Apple-silicon.tar.gz · ibis-macOS-Intel.tar.gz · ibis-Windows.zip · ibis-Linux.tar.gz. Unpack it and put ibis on your PATH; ibis --help lists what it does.

Preview build. Not signed. Ibis is not signed by Apple or Microsoft yet. On macOS, if it says the app cannot be checked, open System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway. On Windows, if SmartScreen warns, choose More info, then Run anyway. In-app updates are opt-in and signed, and Ibis checks the signature before installing one.

Windows installation: if Microsoft WebView2 Runtime is missing, the installer downloads it once, which needs an internet connection. Ibis works offline after that.

macOS shortcut: the default is now Command+Shift+Y. Ibis keeps every explicitly stored shortcut, including Control+Command+R. To keep that old chord, set "shortcut": "Control+Command+R". To use the new default, remove the shortcut setting and restart Ibis. Windows and Linux keep Ctrl+Shift+Y.
