From desk to pocket: Quotes for iOS

We’re launching on Product Hunt today, and we need your help!

Dear Quotes Lover,

Big news: Quotes for iOS is officially here! 🎉

For the past half year, we’ve been quietly working on bringing Quotes from the Mac to the iPhone. Many of you told us that while the Mac is great for deep organization, the iPhone shines when it comes to quick capture and rediscovering words on the go. That became our north star: to make the iOS app a natural companion—lightweight, effortless, and always within reach.

Looking back, our last launch was a huge surprise. Honestly, we didn’t expect a niche product like Quotes to draw much attention—but it did. We were even featured on Product Hunt. That wouldn’t have been possible without you—so many of you showed up to support us, and for that, we’re deeply grateful. Your encouragement gave us the confidence to keep building, and it means the world to us.

Now, we’re ready to share the next step. We just launched Quotes for iOS on Product Hunt, and we’d love your support once again. Your comments, feedback, and upvotes make a huge difference in helping other readers and thinkers discover the app.

On macOS, Quotes helps you sort, refine, and make sense of your growing library. On iOS, the focus is different: effortless capture and gentle resurfacing. Because your iPhone is always with you, it becomes the fastest way to grab a passage from a physical book, a podcast, or a webpage. With OCR (text recognition), dictation, Share Sheet, Siri, and Shortcuts, everything is built for speed and flow.

And then there are widgets and reminders. They may seem simple, but we see them as a powerful way to actually live with your quotes. A favorite line on your Home Screen, or a timely reminder nudging you with wisdom—these small sparks add up. Over time, they can shift your mindset, guide your choices, and help you move toward the life you want. Quotes aren’t meant to be forgotten in a folder—they’re meant to walk alongside you.

This milestone feels special because Quotes began as a personal itch—a way to gather the fragments of reading into something coherent and searchable. Now, with iOS, it’s easier than ever to capture and carry those words with you.

Thank you for being here from the very beginning. We couldn’t have made it this far without you. To celebrate the launch, and to show our gratitude, we’re making the iOS version a free upgrade for all existing subscribers. For those on our legacy lifetime plan, we’ve also prepared a gift for you—just send us a support email via the macOS Quotes app, and we’ll share a promo code with you.

Here’s to the next chapter of Quotes—on your desk, in your pocket, and everywhere words find you.

Warmly,

Conan
