Analectic

Analectic is a collection of quotes worth returning to — and of the people who said them. Nine thousand quotes, two hundred and twenty-nine thinkers, writers, scientists and artists, in twelve languages. Every quote is translated, not machine-dumped: the register is edited so that a line reads the way it was meant to read. NO ACCOUNT, NO FEED Analectic asks for nothing. No registration, no email, no password. There is no feed to scroll and no notification to dismiss. You open it, you read something, you close it. BROWSE THE WAY YOU FEEL Start from a mood — "curious", "tired", "in love" — or from a subject: music, science, psychology, time, death, solitude. Or from a person, and read what they said alongside who they were. Or draw a random deck of eight — and another when you reach the end. SHOWCASE Put the phone on your desk and Analectic becomes a clock: a real dial with a choice of faces and hands, and a quote that changes beside it at your own rhythm. Seven themes, from parchment to obsidian. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Quote of the Day and My Quotes, for the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. My Quotes cycles through what you liked or saved — or a random pick — and moves on with a tap, without opening the app. ON IPAD Every screen is laid out for the larger display. Prop it up on a desk or a shelf, and the clock and the quote fill the room. KEEP WHAT YOU WANT Save quotes into folders. Everything stays on your device; if iCloud is on, the list travels with your own account. Nothing reaches our servers. SHARE IT PROPERLY Every quote makes a typeset card — the portrait, the line, the name — ready for a message or a post. Export a poster as PDF if you want it on a wall. TWELVE LANGUAGES English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Turkish.
