Read full description

Quirepad is a small, focused tool for anyone who copies text from the web more than once at a time, built specifically for how you actually read on iPhone and iPad. The problem it solves: you are reading a long article, a research paper, or documentation, and you need three or four separate pieces of text, not the whole page. Selecting with your finger cannot skip the lines in between. And copying one piece, pasting it, then scrolling back for the next one breaks your reading flow every single time, especially on a smaller screen. Quirepad fixes this. Turn it on, and every piece of text you select gets added to a small floating box right on the page. Keep reading. Switch tabs. Select more. When you are done, tap Copy All and everything you gathered is merged into your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere, grouped by the page it came from. HOW IT WORKS -Tap the Quirepad icon in Safari to arm it. A small badge confirms it is active. -Select any text on any page. A small + button appears, tap it, and the text is added to the box. -Switch tabs or pages freely. Quirepad keeps collecting across all of them, and groups snippets by source with a clear divider. -Made a mistake? Delete any single snippet, or copy just one, right from the box. Nothing is final until you say so. -Tap Copy All to merge everything into your clipboard as one clean block of text, ready to paste into your notes, your document, or an email. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY READ Quirepad works the same way on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, so the habit carries over wherever you are reading. Most tools like this only exist on Chrome and only on desktop. Quirepad was built Safari first, with real support for how much harder it is to copy multiple pieces of text on a phone. Turn on Keep Formatting to preserve bold, italics, and links when you paste into a rich text document. Turn on Include Sources to automatically add the page title and link above each group of snippets, useful for citations and research notes. PRIVACY Everything Quirepad collects stays on your device. There is no account, no analytics, no tracking, and nothing is ever sent anywhere. Your reading and your notes are yours. Quirepad is a quiet, purpose-built tool. It does one thing, and it tries to do it well.

How many buttons do you press to put one thing on your calendar? Sonder is one. You talk, it listens, and your day comes back as color. Say "gym at seven, class nine to noon, work one to five, dinner with Gavin at six" and all four land on the right days at the right times, sorted into seven colors. No forms. No time pickers. No dragging blocks around a grid. SEVEN COLORS Every hour becomes one of seven things: Work — job, class, studying, meetings Health — gym, sports, doctor, rest that actually restores you Leisure — movies, gaming, going out, hobbies Chores — errands, laundry, cooking, admin People — family, partner, close friends Wasted time — doomscrolling, aimless phone time Sleep & transit — sleeping, commuting, driving Most calendars tell you what is next. Sonder shows you where it all went. BUILT FOR A SEMESTER Repeating classes and shifts are one sentence. "Every Monday and Wednesday, chem nine to ten thirty, until December tenth." Say it once and it fills the whole term. Move it later by talking, not by tapping through a repeat menu. ASK IT THINGS "When is my dentist appointment?" "What do I have Friday?" It answers instead of adding something. SEE THE SHAPE OF YOUR WEEK Month, week, day and year, all in color. A week of green with no blue in it looks like exactly what it is. GOALS, NEVER STREAKS Set how many hours a week you want on each category and Sonder shows how far ahead or behind you are, plus how many hours you have not promised to anything yet. There are no streaks. Streaks make people log what looks good instead of what happened, and then the numbers are fiction. The data is the point, so it stays honest. OPTIMIZE One tap names what you are furthest behind on this week and where it fits today. It is arithmetic on the calendar you already have, so it costs nothing and works with no signal. FRIENDS, WITHOUT A FEED Add friends, invite them to a specific event, and see how many hours you have spent together. There is no feed, no follower count, and nothing to scroll. Your calendar is not visible to your friends. They see an event only when you send them that one event by name. A JOINT CALENDAR Share one calendar with one person — a partner, a roommate, whoever you actually plan around. You both write to it, you both see it, nobody else does. Your own calendar stays yours. YOUR WORDS STAY YOURS What you say goes into your own backup, which only you can read. Sonder does not sell your data and runs no third-party analytics. Nothing you write is shown to anyone unless you deliberately send it to them. FREE The whole calendar, friends, invites and every count. Voice and typing share a limit of five requests a day. MEMBER $3.99 a month, or $29.99 a year. The names behind the counts: who viewed your profile, whose top friends you are in, and your own, by hours together. Plus twenty requests a day instead of five. Payment is charged to your Apple account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple account settings.
