Read full description

You just read a line that stopped you. You'll want it again someday: for a toast, for a hard week, for a friend who needs it. Right now it's headed for a screenshot you'll never find, or a notes app where it sits between grocery lists. Passage is a private library for the lines worth keeping, wherever they come from: books, movies, podcasts, songs, or something a friend said. CAPTURE IT IN SECONDS Speak the quote while the book is still open and watch it become text, right on your device. Scan the page with your camera and tap the lines you want. Paste from any app and Passage separates the quote from its author and source on its own. Or just type. KEEP THE WHY Along with every quote: the author and source, the page, your labels, and a note about why it mattered or where you found it. When you're deep in one book, Passage keeps the source filled in so you never retype it. FIND IT AGAIN Search every word you've saved, filter by label, or browse by book, author, and film. The line from two summers ago is back in seconds. MEET YOUR LINES AGAIN A widget puts one of your saved quotes on your home screen each day. Your own library coming back to you, not a stranger's motivation feed. YOURS, PRIVATELY No account and no feed. Quotes live on your device and leave anytime as a CSV file. - Your library never needs a connection - Voice and scan recognition run on the device - No subscription, ever - Works with VoiceOver and larger text sizes Your first 50 quotes are free, with every capture method included. $4.99 once removes the cap and adds CSV export. You own it forever.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Whiteboard at none against Passage's 1. Whiteboard also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). Passage's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
