About

Keep your Quotes

Features
Read full description

Quotes from books, films, conversations and your own head. In one place, on your phone, and nowhere you didn't ask for. Reprise is for the line you'd be sorry to lose, the one you keep meaning to write down and never do. POINT THE CAMERA, KEEP THE LINE Hold your phone over a page, a screen, a screenshot — Reprise reads the words straight off it and adds them to your collection. No retyping, no uploading. It happens entirely on the device, the same as everything else here. EVERY MORNING, ONE COMES BACK Reprise picks one of your own sentences and hands it back to you — a different one each day, favouring the ones you haven't seen in a while. The same line shows in the app, the widget, and the morning notification, so your phone never says two different things at once. CARRY ONE WITH YOU Drag a sentence up to the Dynamic Island and it stays in front of you for up to eight hours — on the Lock Screen too, in a colour you choose. Nothing loud, nothing that needs checking. Just the line, where you'll actually see it. A FIELD, NOT A LIST Your quotes float as a spatial field instead of a scrolling list. Drag one onto another and the two become a folder, coloured however you like, so the ones that belong together find each other. Let one go and it waits, recoverable, rather than disappearing for good. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE There's no account, no sign-in, no server. What you write stays on your device — the widget and the Lock Screen read the same local store, not a service. iCloud sync is there if you want it, off by default, and even then it's your own iCloud, never ours. Everywhere else it shows up — widgets, Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, Action Button, your own folders in colour — comes from the same handful of sentences you actually wrote. Reprise is a subscription. Reprise Weekly costs EUR 4.99 per week and Reprise Yearly costs EUR 34.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
