About Pincite

Referencing, done properly.

Pincite turns the AGLC4’s hundreds of rules into a few clear fields — so your citations are correct to the letter, and your time goes to the argument.

Why we built it

The AGLC4 is precise and unforgiving. A comma in the wrong place, an italic that should have been roman, a pinpoint in the wrong form — each is a small dent in your credibility, and for students, marks off the top. Getting it right means hours cross-checking a 300-page guide against your own footnotes.

We thought the rules themselves should do that work. Tell Pincite what you’re citing and it asks only for what that rule needs — nothing more — then assembles the footnote, bibliography entry and every subsequent reference for you.

How it works

Start from the document type — a case, a statute, a chapter, a treaty. The Index looks up any of them and tells you the governing rule. Quotations formats the passage and its pinpoint exactly as the rule requires. Projects keeps a whole reference list together, ready to copy into your document in one action — italics intact.

Everything you build is yours to copy, save and reuse. Nothing is locked away.

Built on the AGLC4, checked against it

Every rule in Pincite is verified against the fourth edition, and we show you the rule number as you go — so you can confirm it yourself, and trust what you copy.
