Quirepad vs Bloks

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.

Bloks turns AI agents into little colleagues that live on your Mac. This is their phone app. Pair it with Bloks on your Mac by reading a six digit code off its screen. From then on, your agents are in your pocket: see what each one is working on, answer the question that is blocking one, approve or refuse the thing it wants to do, and watch a room of them work through a plan together. Answers arrive as the thing itself rather than a wall of text: a chart, a checklist, a decision with its options laid out. When an agent needs you, your phone buzzes, and the answer is one tap away. Your agents run on your Mac, with your own provider keys. The phone talks to your Mac directly, there is no account to create, and there are no analytics and no tracking in this app. New here? The app opens with a sample workspace so you can feel how it works before connecting your own. Bloks for Mac is free and open source: github.com/hamedgitty/bloks
