Some lines stay with you. QuoteDiary is where you keep them. A private notebook for the words worth keeping — from books, poems, articles, conversations, or your own head. No accounts, no feed, no one else's opinions. Just your quotes, waiting where you left them, on QuoteDiary. GET A QUOTE IN WITHOUT TYPING A WORD Point your camera at the page. QuoteDiary reads the text on the spot and lets you select exactly the words you want — the way you'd select text in a photo. You take the sentence you meant, not the whole paragraph. TAKE A LINE FROM ANYWHERE ELSE YOU READ Reading in other apps, or a message from a friend? Select the text, tap Share, and choose QuoteDiary. Pick the collection it belongs in and it's filed — without leaving the page you were on. Anything you'd rather sort later lands in Imports and waits for you there. ADD A BOOK IN ONE SCAN Scan the barcode on a book's back cover and the title, author, and cover art fill themselves in. Prefer to search by title? That works too. Anything the internet has never heard of can be added by hand. ORGANISE IT THE WAY YOU THINK Build collections for Books, Poetry, Journals, Newspapers, People, or a category of your own, each with its own colours and a cover you can set from your own photos. Tag quotes as wisdom, philosophy, funny, deep, love, life, inspiring, or motivational. Note the page number and why the line mattered. Favourite the ones you'll come back to, then find anything again by tag, by date, or by searching your whole library at once. SEE EVERYTHING YOU'VE KEPT Open All Quotes to read straight through the whole library, grouped by the month you saved each line. Switch between a quiet list and a wall of cards, and filter down to a tag or your favourites when you're looking for one line in particular. SHARE A LINE AS SOMETHING WORTH LOOKING AT Turn any quote into a card with more than a dozen backgrounds — or a photo of your own — sized for Post, Square, or Story. Pick your own fonts and accent colours, then send it wherever you like. A QUOTE ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Small and medium Home Screen widgets and a Lock Screen widget, showing the day's line from your own library alongside a curated set of classics. PRIVATE BY DESIGN, NOT BY POLICY Your library lives on your device. Turn on iCloud and it syncs privately across your own devices through your personal iCloud account — there is no server and no account to create, so your quotes never pass through us. Photos you use for covers and cards stay on your device too. No analytics. No tracking. No advertising. Nothing sold, because there is nothing collected. FREE, WITH NO CATCH No subscription. No in-app purchases. No paywalled features, no trial that expires, no ads. Everything described here is simply in the app. Start with one line you didn't want to forget.
