Using Qwote, you can achieve just that. - Select the quote or text and hit the 'Share' option once highlighted - From the Share sheet that pops up, navigate to the 'More' option - Select the Qwote app (you have to do this the first time only) and add it to your favorites so that it is easier to access the next time - You will get an editor inside the Qwote app with your selected text pre-filled - Add Source if needed and hit 'Next' - Then click 'Share Qwote' to share your beautifully formatted card on social networks If you want, you can save it as an image using the Download option to share later. You can find all your Shared and Saved quotes on the Qwote app. If you want to add your own quote, click on the '+' button. This opens an editor allowing you to write/paste and format your quotes.

Things List is a place to keep track of what you collect — books, wine, vinyl, art, or anything else. There are no preset categories. You build the lists, and you decide what fields each one needs. Add things with a photo, a few words, or a tap in the share sheet, straight from Safari, Photos, or any other app. Scan a page and the text goes straight into a note. Each list can hold its own fields — text, checkboxes, ratings, dates — along with tags, notes, a location, and photos. Sort a list by whichever field matters to you. Print any list as a sheet of cards, sized to cut out and keep. Two widgets let you add a thing from your Home Screen, or see a random one from your collection. Everything stays on your phone. No account, no ads, no tracking, nothing is sent to us. Export your data as CSV and images any time, and sync it over your own iCloud if you want to. Things List is quiet and plain by design — no clutter, no noise, just your things.
