Quote Quote keeps the lines that stay with you, filed with their book. Nothing to copy out: a few seconds, and you’re back to your reading.

Features

Everything Quote Quote does.

While you read, the app asks as little of you as possible. Sorting, checking and sharing wait until you have time.

  • In your iCloudAutomatic backup, waiting for you on your next iPhone.

  • IndependentFor readers, by a reader. Designed and built in France.

“I tried everything to keep my quotes. I never read them again.”

Our story

I read a lot, novels and essays alike. And I’ve always wanted to keep the lines that moved me. I tried everything: highlighters, sticky notes, notebooks, Evernote. My quotes ended up scattered, and I never read them again.

So I made Quote Quote. You photograph the page, tap the first and last word, and the quote is filed with its book. You go back to your reading. The next day, the widget brings one of your quotes back to your Home Screen.

No account, no ads, your quotes stay on your iPhone. Just a notebook that keeps what stayed with you, and reminds you of it.

The app is available in English, French, Spanish, German and Italian.
