Quotelog is a quote-based reading notes app for saving the words that catch your eye — the moment they do. Paper books or e-books: scan a page with your camera, trace the part you want to keep, and it's text in a snap. Then get right back to reading. ■ HOW IT WORKS • Capture text from an image — Photograph a page and trace the passage you want to quote. Turn it into text the instant it catches your eye. • Add comments and photos — Attach your own impressions, or related figures and images, to each quote. Your reading record grows one tap at a time. • Review your reading — Find any book or quote instantly with keyword search, and look back over your reading in a calendar-style activity log. • Export in bulk — Write out your quotes and book info as Markdown with a customizable format. Perfect for connecting to tools like Notion or Obsidian. ■ FEATURES • OCR text capture — Turn printed pages into editable text with a trace of your finger. • Continuous capture — Read smoothly across page after page. • Comments & images — Add as many note elements to a quote as you like. • Quote colors — Give quotes a color to make them stand out. • Barcode scanning — Auto-fill book info from the ISBN. • Cover images — Set a cover for each book for easy browsing. • Kindle import — Pull in your notes and highlights from Kindle in bulk. • Keyword search — Search across everything you've saved at once. • Activity log — See your reading tallied up in a calendar view. • Markdown export — Fine-tune exactly what your output contains. • Dark mode — A darker theme, perfect for reading at night. • Offline-first — Your library is stored locally on your device.
