Quotator is a personal quote library that puts your words on your home screen — styled exactly the way you want them, rotating on your schedule. THE ROTATION IS YOURS Most quote apps rotate randomly or once a day. Quotator lets you set the interval: every 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2, 4, 6, or 12 hours, or once a day. Each widget you add can have its own interval, category, and rotation mode — independently. You decide when your quotes change, and every widget can tell a different story. YOUR STYLE, YOUR QUOTES Style each quote individually — or set a default for your whole library and override it per category or per quote: • 19 fonts — 4 system designs (System, Serif, Monospaced, Rounded) plus 15 curated iOS fonts: Georgia, Palatino, Baskerville, Didot, American Typewriter, Courier New, Futura, Gill Sans, Helvetica Neue, Avenir Next, Optima, Copperplate, Marker Felt, Noteworthy, Snell Roundhand • Custom colors — choose from 19 carefully selected presets, or tap + to open the system color picker and use any color you like • Auto-fit text — quotes scale to fill the widget so short quotes go large and long quotes shrink to fit without truncation • Left, center, or right text alignment • Live preview — toggle Medium and Large in the edit screen to see exactly how your widget will look before saving PERSONAL LIBRARY • Add any quote with optional author attribution • Organize quotes into categories; filter your library by category • Enable or disable individual quotes — removed from widget rotation but kept in your library • Reorder by dragging to set the sequential rotation order • Search instantly by quote text or author TWO WIDGET STYLES Rotating Quote — displays a new quote on your chosen schedule. Long-press to configure each widget independently: • Sequential cycles through your library in the order you set • Random picks a different quote each interval, consistently • Manual pins one specific quote until you change it • Filter to one category or a set of categories • Tap the next-quote button to advance immediately — no waiting for the next rotation Specific Quote — always shows one chosen quote. Perfect for a mantra, a goal, or a favourite you want to see every day. SHARE QUOTE COLLECTIONS Export a formatted set of quotes as a single file and share it with anyone. Styles, categories, and all formatting are preserved. Recipients import it with one tap — great for sharing reading lists, team mantras, or themed collections. FOCUS FILTER Set Quotator's category and rotation mode per Focus mode in iOS Settings → Focus → Apps → Quotator. Work Focus shows your professional quotes. Sleep Focus shows something calmer. No manual changes needed. YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL • Automatic iCloud backup — Quotator backs up your entire library to iCloud Documents once a day, keeping the last 10 backups automatically • Manual backup and restore — full JSON backup you can store anywhere • Import from CSV — bring in quotes from a spreadsheet or another app • Export to CSV — take your library to any app or spreadsheet No account required. No subscription. No data collected. Just your quotes.
